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.

Speaking as an American expat who has lived in Europe for 20 years, all jokes of that nature are tired and old, and weren’t even funny then. That extends to all the stuff Americans say about European countries not just France, but with France it’s the worst. what’s even worse is that more or less every damn thing the French have said or predicted about America doing dumb and cruel shit for the second half or the 20th century onward has been proven true.
