Actually, no. You're confusing a national stereotype (the French
People) with prejudicial views against individuals within a race or
nationality (Poles, Jews, etc.) To my knowledge, no one regards
individuals of French descent to be inferior or dumb -- if anything,
individually the French are seen as suave and debonair -- but as a
nation they are commonly ridiculed due to their recent (post-1938)
behavior.

This is a subtle yet important difference that makes the two attitudes
apples and oranges.

(And, just so you know this shouldn't be taken personally, my mother's
family is of French descent.)

Making you a fils de pute, then...
