"Sugarfoot Jack, What you're saying is it's OK to have national stereotypes but not racial one."

I haven't ventured an opinion in this case - I was answering your question about whether calling the black French tennis player a 'frog' or a 'cheese eater' was racist . . . and I'm not sure it is.

The population of a nation is made up of many different races, so calling the French "Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys" doesn't strike me as being racist, although nationality is often a stick to beat people with; it happens often enough on this board.
