    Why do you keep assuming you know what everyone loves and hates?

    I don't hate the cheese eating surrender monkeys...

    The dutch on the other hand...

    Hating the French is a generally American tradition, not being from America I do not understand it's origins, it probably resurfaced during the Iraq War period...

    That's only in America we don't tell them in Canada instead we have Quebec to insult them.

    Everyone DOES NOT hate the French.

    As far as I can tell, this sort of sterotype stems from how the British and the French always fought through the medieval ages and so on. Even when Canada and the US were first settled by Europeans in the 1500s, 1600s and 1700s, the British and French fought over who owned the land.

    So if your British, that's probably why you've heard that. I don't think anyone in their right mind would hate someone because of their nationality these days. That's just stupid.

    Bah, an enemy of Maurice Ravel is an enemy of mine!

    Seriously though, it’s all to do with cultural ideology. For example, the French aren’t gun slinging rednecks that talk through their nose. Although they do have that stupid laugh…


    See, Aren’t stereotypes fun?

    That's probably because they outright refused to support the war in Iraq....or something along those lines.

    Imagine! They didn't want to go to war!! HOW DARE THEY!!!

    the whole french civilization as a concept is poor, they should just back up and become german or something.

    I personally don't hate the French, although I used to make fun of them occasionally, since it bugged my friend who was French.

    I try no to hate a specific group of people, because each person in the group is different.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.
