My cousin said that when I asked her if she wanted to play a game, irl. She said she wanted to be black, and asked if she could go first... I said, white always goes first, she was like... “WHAT?!?” 😂

Yeah, when I was a kid we didn't know that white always moved first either.   I would always take white and my brother would always take black, but we took turns moving first.

Hmm I do like the French defense, however once black plays e6 , block's odds of winning drop to around 30%, so I'm not sure if that's your best option statistically, but I still do like the French

I used to be a French Defense player, but I switched to the Sicilian about 15-20 years ago because I discovered some weaknesses in the French (kingside safety and the bad bishop).   However, it seems that the Sicilian also has those same weaknesses in some variations.   Also to note is that Alpha Zero totally busted the French, so it's probably just a matter of time before people stop playing it altogether.   Having knowledge of the French Defense helps my Sicilian game quite a bit though, as I can transpose into a French pawn setup and feel very comfortable with it, which oftens gets white out of book early on.

White has an advantage but black has more defence when you will attack.

I like to play with white because white gets the advantage of the first move. But then again I have lost to my brother every time I was white...

On average, white wins more than black does.   However, I feel more comfortable with black, since I'm a more defensive-oriented player and prefer semi-open games (combining both positional and tactical play).   Most tactical, attacking players would prefer white though.
