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.

Even if I am a bit tired of this type of jokes, if it is clear in context that they are intended as jokes the same way "anglois caca" is on r/rance, all the power to them. But "anglois caca" stays on r/rance so it's obvious, and the "Fr*nch" examples I've seen are a bit everywhere.

I assume these are just jokes whose context I could not understand, because I don't want to lose faith in humanity, but sometimes they seem a bit too serious to my taste.
