Do Americans really think the French hate them?

[julie09]

[lightbulb27]

no, we made good friends with French and with people of other countries.

I know some french didn't like our policies... like that little old invasion of Iraq and they were right... how bossy we are globally as the ones in control. It's a problem here too.

If they had beaten the Germans then they could complain more.

I don't like what I saw happening in France and I don't want it happening here. However, it looks like we will follow in your footsteps into the same rat hole, in time.

5. FRANCE

So short answer, "Oui." They like ME though, so...😂

My mom thinks they hate us, even though they've always been nice to us.

Nopw. But a lot of y'all are snobby af with no good reason to be. I shouldn't be getting eye rolls for being American when your capital city smells like perfume, tobacco and cat pee.

[julie09]

Do you have any specific examples of snobbery by french people?

[Agape93]

I gave you one. Eye rolling when I said im from America.

[julie09]

Just because you come across a few idiots doesn’t mean you should generalise about an entire nation. Stupidity knows no national boundaries.

[Agape93]

I didn't generalize an entire nation. I literally said a lot of y'all are snobby, which is correct.

[julie09]

A lot" is too vague—out of 69 million people, how many do you estimate are snobbish French people?

[Agape93]

No idea. But when I was there, the majority of the ones i interacted with had an attitude the moment i talked or mentioned where I was from.
And no, im not a dipshit, I know how to conduct myself abroad.

[julie09]

The problem is that you’re basing your conclusion—that “many” French people are snobs—on a personal experience, and thus a very limited impression. However, you’re far from having met the entire French population; based on your experience, you’ve encountered only a very, very small portion of it. So you can’t seriously claim that “many” French people are snobs. At best, you can conclude that among the small portion of the French population you’ve encountered, many were snobs. This in no way allows you to draw general conclusions like "lot" French people are snobs.

[Agape93]

"Allows me"? Honey, I very much can and will say as I please. You dont get to correct me on my own experiences or how I see that. When the majority of French people I talked to got an attitude over my nationality or when I started speaking English, that ain't up for debate.

[julie09]

You're having trouble understanding what you read, aren't you? 😅

[Agape93]

No i fully understand. You keep insisting im generalizing your whole nation or a majority of them. I am not and have said so. I said a lot of you are, which is objectively correct because I dealt with it myself. A lot is subjective, but instead of asking for clarification, you started arguing semantic bullshit.

[julie09]

The words we use are important. I asked for clarification and you provided it. Consequently, I qualified your initial comment by saying, in essence, that it is more accurate to say that, amongst the minority of the French population you encountered, ‘lot’ came across as snobbish. This statement in no way denies your experience; it simply puts it into a context.

[Agape93]

Context that made no difference. How about stop fucking arguing for no reason and just accept it, or ignore it.

[NoDecision]

If they did they wouldn't be selling us fries.

[Iron_Man]

And don’t forget French onion, soup. It’s my favorite soup of all time.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I thought it was kinda a joke. Like when people. go "I hate the French" it's just silly nonsense.

Maybe it's because both cultures are kind of thought to be mean for the same reasons. We're both very individualistic, blunt cultures right?

[unfaltering]

It couldn't be more obvious. You celebrate the French Revolution, an era lead by Islamic Freemasons that brought war on Judeo-Christian beleifs and gave rise to the "Cult of Reason" otherwise known as Atheism. France is diametrical oppose to the American way of life. That a dangerous place to be right now.

[unfaltering]

This is where we are at right now... You're on the opposing team.

I wouldn't want to be you...

[slatyb]

This American does not. I've spent 15 weeks in France in 2025 and 2026 and the French are friendly to polite Americans.

[Iron_Man]

No some love us Just like you do. And you wouldn’t mind coming to America and having me showing you around 😊

[julie09]

Of course 🙂

[Iron_Man]

Aww Yes 🥰

[Shiprex]

Probably, because the Americans never repaid the French fir their independence.

[Anonymous]

No, it's not about the French hating us, it's just that the French are rude and arrogant and think far more highly of themselves than the rest of the world thinks of them.

[RedInnocent69]

Americans think everyone hates them but wants to be them. They have some of the best and smartest, but also a lot of the confused and stupidist

[Staximus]

Only when we drink wine from plastic or coffee cups

[Anonymous]

Honestly i don't even think about it. But like us or hate us, i'm cool with either.👍

[moddy_the_mod]

We don’t really care.

[In_Trance]

Everybody hates Americans and Americans know it

[Anonymous]

I think the French don't like anyone

[julie09]

True 😂

[abc3643]

I don't.
