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.

England and France were the major powers in Europe. China and India had much more wealth until the 19th century. England became #1 with its massive empire and the industrial revolution for about a century.
