    Parisians don’t give a shit about Americans one way or the other. I was just there and everyone was nice to me like they are to everyone else.

      It’s so weird how there’s this stereotype about French people hating Americans when people seem to have forgotten that Republicans once hated the French so much (for daring to not join America in a war) that they changed ‘French fries’ to ‘freedom fries’ for a while. And then there’s the bullshit “France always surrenders” meme that so many Americans believe. The French military is fucking fierce.

      In my experience, it’s Americans who hate the French a lot more than French people hating Americans.

        In my experience, the French who hate the Americans are the ones who travel. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions from there

          Canadian flags

          When we travel

          On our bags

          'Cause we are Americans (ah yeah!)

          You’re not wrong, I’d say your average French that didn’t travel much and works for French companies basically doesn’t care about Americans at all. It’s when you actually go there or work for American companies that you start radicalising…
