Were the French always a bunch of pretentious elitist pricks or did that only start after some specific event?

Their food is good but it certainly isn't significantly better than many other places.

They still smoke like chimneys.

They are still pretty misogynistic.

They make terrible cars and pretty much all their manufacturing may as well have their quality control run by Helen Keller.

Their "world famous" city smells like piss and is a filthy mess (unless they decide to clean it up for something like the Olympics).

Their police are notorious for abusing their power and attempting to silence reporters or the media.
