` 2006 (UTC)  In France where my father came from, there are slurs designated for the nation's array of ethnic groups: Corsicans ``loves dogs``,  Alsatians ``skinheads``, Flemings ``tulip dancers``, Basques ``bomb throwers``, Bretons ``frigid minds`` and regional jokes/comments on his native province: Nord Pas-de-Calais, seen as backward, lack good incomes, very conservative and religiously devoted. These characteristics except this ``backward`` thing is true to a point, but to exagerate something leads to stereotyping. In Northernmost France are comments about Parisians as ``snubs``, ``self centered``, ``materialist`` and ``get the good jobs``. My Dad's family are proud to be Frenchmen/women/people, and don't hold grudges on other races or people. My grandpa and great-grandpa fought against Nazis for their cruelty done to France and oppose their ideology as socialists. There are depictions, negative or positive, or not always true, on France's political neighbors. They made jokes why the English have hands on their laps under the table (a breach of French etiquette for reasons I won't discuss), and Americans are always smiling (I noticed the French have emotions, but not much smiling) and demand treatment/service on the spot. Some locals said things on Belgians, Germans, Swiss and Italians. The worst comments goes to the British as ``hooligans can't handle their gin``. Not as bad goes to Spaniards as ``flamboyant`` or Austrians as ``robotic``. Nationality slurs aren't kind and are inflammatory, and France has strict laws regarding hate speech not just to protect Jews, Christians, women, homosexuals, immigrants and visitors from biased comments. The French has a historic custom and policy to promote strong inclusion of minorities to assimilate, integrate and acculture to France. They do this not to abandon minority status, but accepting one foreign person as an equal and as a French citizen.+  09:18, 9 June`
