France, just like every single country in this world, acts for its own self interest. They make jokes about us. Is that racist on their part? Does that bother you not at all? Make up your mind. You seemed to be very confused.
and i dont eat french fries anyways. Too much fat and cholesterol.

If you are a history buff, perhaps you would remember that the govt of Vichy was hated by most french people, and its leader, General Philippe Petain, was an ass-hole who collaborated with Hitler. Its one French coward who was scared for his life and was only interested in his personal well being, so he helped the Nazis by using his power as a general.
He stayed in power because he was supported by the German army.
However, this is one man. I'm not making jokes on the US or any other country because of the assholes in power that exist there.
You're bashing a whole population based on the invasion they suffered during WW2?
You might have forgotten (in all respect to your history-buffness) that frenchmen rather supported General Charles de Gaulle, who commanded "la Resistance" from London... and who was still willing to fight the Germans, while the corrupt Vichy govt in power collaborated.
So don't say that "the french" gave away 78,000 jews.
Because people don't say that the English wanted to go to war with Iraq, but rather that their little prime minister preferred to stay comfortably "on Bush's side"
just admit that these "jokes" are based on your disliking of the French. You might as well make a thread named "I hate the French because of their poor military history and these jokes seem to be fashionable these days"
