The modern French fry is thoroughly American. There may have been some Belgian origin to the food that Jefferson tried there and tried to replicate when he came back to his plantation in Virginia, but what they ended up coming up with is as American as blowing shit up on the Fourth of July.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Try to get a restraining order against it, or have yourself put in protective custody.
