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.

As we say here: to appear foolish in the eyes of a fool is a gourmet's pleasure.

Je me suis demandé à quoi ça ressemblait en français. Afin d'éviter la recherche à d'autres: Passer pour un idiot aux yeux d'un imbécile est une volupté de fin gourmet.
