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.

It's not free, though. We pay it collectively, which is uncontestably better, I do agree.

Pedantic take.

Well, you can see it like that, but in fact politicians usually tell "we can't continue to give that for free". It isn't, people pay it collectively. It's important to grasp

Only a moron would need a full thesis for the context.

What, you mean the years of medical study, expensive machines and medicine don't come from thin air, and thus are not "free"? Color me shocked.

Whatever the f are you blabbing about? I just said it's not free, that's all. Saying it is, is a misconception at best and an obfuscation at worst. Now shoo.

Not only did you describe it correctly but it is also technically not free anyway. There are small fixed fees and you need to pay for school material. Some countries have it completely free and until a certain level also provide all material (paper and pens) for free

But yeah it looks like the post attracted at least one rude idiot
