I once accidentally spoke french to a waitress in Greece then apologised and said I wasn't actually french. She went on a ten minute diatribe about how french people are the bane of her life because they refuse to speak English with her and just get louder and louder in french 😂

As a Belgian, I noticed that people usually get warmer when they learn I'm not French.

Hopefully the cliche will change over time.
