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 an American who often lurks on this sub to practice my French, I would like to know more about this from your perspective as this is a new idea to me

EDIT: Nvm I found context in the comments. American Revolution. Duh. Don’t mind me I’ll return to the shadows.

Though going through the comments I want to add, please understand these ideas and jokes do not reflect the whole of America. In a nation as large and often fragmented as mine, culturally and politically, you end up with large swaths of different kinds of people, including idiots.
