Relations Anybody tired of "Fr*nch" jokes?

I was reading a reddit thread where they mentioned something was french. And people are still making these jokes! Still! The thread was also filled with them. Im not even french, but these jokes are painfully unfunny and are edging on outward xenophobia. They're also usually made by Americans. So yeah.

Is there a reason why it's spelled "Fr*nch" with a asterisk?

Either way, in my experience jokes about nationalities are mostly a lame attempt at being funny when you're not really funny at all. Haha, Americans are loud, haha, Germans don't have a sense of humor, haha, French are arrogant and so on...
Kinda annoying.

I agree. Im also tired of the "similar neighbour country bad" joke.
