Whatever you need to make yourself feel better, mate. If that relieves your feelings of inadequacy and makes you feel superior, well the French are a good target because they really couldn't give a fuck what you think so there is no real harm.
Well, apart from your insecurity and sense of failure that is, but that's your problem.
