    As an American: you should shut the fuck up with the French stereotypes. Using those tropes and stereotypes as a serious insult or attack only serves to prove your own (stereotypically American) deep ignorance of French history and culture.

      I wasn’t using stereotypes. I was using historical references to how the French refused to aid America in the revolutionary war unless they directly gained from it.

      I was also alluding to how the French aristocracy used to starve the peasants and overindulge.
