I don't think that Gromit has grasped the fact that France is a Nation and not a race and that the people born in France are French Nationals, also not a race.
Any excuse to show indignance and try to bring "race" into the debate in order to demonise others for his own perverse reasons.
A very good friend of ours who trained as a nurse with my wife hails from France and she refers to me as "rosbif. " She ain't racist and I am not offended.

A Little British History
During the royal wedding, Prince William chose to wear the famous British 'red coat'.
A long time ago Britain and France were at war. The French captured a British Colonel and their General began to question him.
As an afterthought, the General asked, "Why do you British officers wear red coats? Don't you know that they make you easier targets?"
The Colonel replied that the red coat is worn so that if they are wounded, the blood wont show and the men they are leading wont panic.
And that's why, from that day forward, all French Army officers have worn brown trousers.......

My uncle,ex Welsh Guards, and now deceased would love to be here to read your defense of the French.
In 1939 he was fighting a rearguard action on the retreat to Calais in order that British and French troops be evacuated to blighty.
He was shot in the back which was a cowardly thing to do and rather strange as he thought the enemy were in front of him.As he lay there wounded and left to be picked up by the Germans and hopefully treated he assumed he had been outflanked.
When operated on by a German military doctor he was afterwards handed the bullet extracted from his back. It was 8mm.The doctor cheerfully commented," A gift from your French Allies" That calibre weapon was only used and fired,at the time, in a French Fusil Lebel rifle.
He might of added a few choice words for your edification canary.

My uncle fought near Dunkirk. He and two of his friends were late getting to the beach where their ship sailed from. They stood on the beach and saw their ship get torpedoed. There were no survivors, so they lost all their friends. They managed to find their way to a cottage and were taken in by the French family living there. After many weeks of hiding, they managed to get home on another ship. Nobody realised that there was anything wrong with my uncle until one morning when a policeman knocked on his wife's door. He had been found running round the streets, stark naked and singing, obviously in a state of confusion. He had shell shock. He was treated in hospital and went home to his wife, but never really recovered, having witnessed the demise of his friends and being under constant bombardment. He was only 68 when he died of a heart attack and I'm sure that he would have been much younger than that if it had not been for the French family that took him in.
The French insult the English all the time. A joke is just that, a joke, not to be taken seriously!
