Why Americans hate French?

[Verruckter]

I just wanted to know why the hell do americans hate the French people? AND DON'T SAY YOU SAVED THEIR ASSES DURING WW2!!!!!!! Your president sent you to war because if the Russians would of reconquer all of Europe, they would have a whole continent for them.
I would of made a list but there are 2 much prejudice going on. Just think about it and i'm sure you'll see there isn't so much reasons you hate them....

[esupin]

also there's the whole Iraqi war thing where they wouldn't help the US.
who knows... everyone just jumped on the bandwagon and just started hating them.
It's just a phase, though.
Before, it was the Japanese, Chinese, Irish...

[Verruckter]

lol So now it's a crime to be peaceful? woha!!! this wolrd sure is weird...

[roopert]

I don't hate French people. However, I dislike the French government because I don't agree with just about all of the decisions they make.

Oh and I also don't like the women with hairy armpits thing

[Verruckter]

Thats just a prejudice... It WAS true but now its not, and it was only true in small villages... lol

*Americans* hate the French? Don't tell me my opinion! That's not true and isn't worth arguing. Only the bored people dislike the French, but there is nothing close to hate.

[Verruckter]

Ok, then why do they call the frenchies and frogs..... (i know thats bcause they eat frogs, but thats just stupid)

[LadyAkuma]

Maybe it's beccause America stems from Britain....which hated (or hates) the people of France. :/ Maybe Americans don't hate the French. :/ I've never heard an american call a frenchman a frog...although it's something that people of Britain do. :/

[Verruckter]

Yeah. Brits and French are in a continuous fight for.... lol i don't even know, they just dislike each other. I think it comes from the medeival wars.

Now don't take my word for it, as I'm just guessing, but it's not necessarily that we saved the French during WW2, but they didn't seem grateful that we did it, or something to that extent. I just discussed it with my teacher the other day because he really does hate the French, but I can't remember a darn thing they said.

[LadyAkuma]

The French gave up so easily to Hitler...I think that's why some Americans hate the French.

[Verruckter]

They had to because they fought World War One and lost many men, and they thought there wouldnt be another war in years, so they didn't rebuild their army completely and there where only footsoldiers that where used to WWI. Ahhh! if the governemnt had listened to Charles DeGaulle, they would have made tanks.

As well as for not being grateful, i have no information on this but the american army (and the german army that is) did bomb their houses and destroy most of the country. But that's part of the war.

The French are called frogs just like the Polish are Poles. It isn't one country calling them that, it is just what everyone uses as a nickname.

[Freak83]

French are called frogs? I have never heard of that before.

[Squeek]

Possibly because the French have never won a single war, battle, or skirmish in its history.

That sums it up nicely.
