Just been on holiday to rural France with very little French. Everyone was lovely, and although few people had much English either, we managed to get by fine just meeting in the middle.
Yes. People in Paris can be a bit gruff, for the same reason people in New York can, it’s a massive city that gets the most tourists of anywhere in the whole world, there are constantly millions of things competing for attention. But IMO even there people are pretty nice if you make a little effort, and elsewhere they’re truly lovely.
That was also my experience. I’ve been 3 times and never had a problem with French people anywhere I’ve been in the country (not just Paris). They seem to really appreciate it if you made an effort to respect their language and culture and will work with you if you can’t speak the whole conversation in French.
Y’know what? “Demographic bad” is too lazy and witless to count as a joke anymore. Build some complexity. Poke fun at current events. You think differently when it’s about you.
“You know what’s the problem with white people? They’re all fucking stupid redneck trash fucking their cousins!”

Funny as hell, too
It’s hacky as fuck. Do better.
Oof someone can’t take a joke well

Proliferation of shitty stereotypes makes jokes a bit shit.
I mean, not being able to take a joke proliferates shit stereotypes far worse than anything we could say
