I have a book called "The Frenchman" which I'll have to find and find out the French Comedian who appeared in it, and the American company that published it.
I doubt that it could be published today, although it is harmless. If it was used to depict any race and other nationalities it would be rejected as utterly un-PC and racist, anti-nationialist, but it was done about THE FRENCH and the US has always had a kind of affectionate open season on the French, who in reality are a brave, extremely handsome, intellectually fierce and often admirable people.

The book is funny as hell. It consists merely of a page almost wholly blank, except for one question, usually about how this visiting Frenchman views Americans. The next page ia a photograph of the man's extremely mobile face.
