I generally actually don't have a problem with making fun of national stereotypes, after a fashion. After all, if you can't laugh... But I do get irked with the sort of person who would have gone on anti-racist/fascist/whatever marches, but then thinks that making fun of the Welsh or the Scots or whatever is totally different. Doublethink annoys me.
I'm quite apt to rib the French as well ;-) They make it so easy!
