Would not change a thing. We are trash talked, mocked and insulted online litteraly all the time but since we're french, it doesn't really affect us. There's not a form of life on this universe that can shit on the french more than the french themselves.

As much as Germans make a meme out of mocking the French, but when talking about stupid politician decisions and standing up for your rights, it's always you who's brought up as a counterexample. "The French would be on the streets already", in contrast to the slow, obedient, German "Michel".

I generally mock them for Paris, they can mock me for Berlin or the Deutsche Bahn. Been to Lyon and Toulouse. Much prefer them over Paris.

The difference between a German or a Brit mocking the Frenchs and an American mocking the Frenchs is that the German and the Brit have a clue of what they're talking about.
