It's standard in frum circles to mock the French. They are so low, they are anti-Semitic. Is any of that true? Criticizing the state of Israel is not anti-Semitism. It might even be humanism. So we can't go by that. As for being low, quite to the contrary, the French in general are very refined. I marvel at them. You see it here in this moving video.
Note: Frum people particularly the Yeshivish ones mock everything. At a wedding, a guy I tried to be sociable with mocked the Italians. According to him, they are "the lowest race." I'm guessing he doesn't actually know any because they are some of the best gentiles out there. R' Miller actually notes that, saying that they have the oldest continuous society in Europe. By and large, they are a decent people he says. But the typical yeshivish schmuck from NY doesn't know that. He doesn't know anything.
So too those who mock the French.
