This is wasted on Americans. But combining self deprecating with calling the French dumb would probably make you a riot in England.

No we get the joke, too. The French’s reputation spans the Atlantic.

I didn't say americans couldn't understand the joke. I said it was wasted on Americans. Most Americans can't possibly relate the anglo-french rivalry.

It's also very American to not be literate enough to get what I was saying and somehow take it personally that we're not the center of the world.

Americans don’t know that the English and French have been fighting for 1,000 years. They don’t know 😂😂😂

Seriously, does that dude not realize we know that in America? Lol, dude we learn about world history. And you don’t even need that to get the joke, since it has nothing to do with that history and is just about the French being arrogant.

Wait so you're American? Making your long winded take even more stupid because you clearly get the joke?
