> In imagining what I would call various Europeans, I would probably say Germans or English people or Italians, or people from Spain, but I would definitely say the French and there seems to be some hint of negativity to it.

Similarly, "French people love eating croissants" or "The French love croissants" both sound reasonable. etc. I think part of why so many people are dunking on it is, while you can say "take care to avoid dehumanizing", considering "the French" as dehumanizing seems like care beyond any real practicality.
