    Yet all I see is hate, probably a result of gullible people guzzling propaganda from the US after France refused to help in the 2003 Iraq war.

    Lord.

      Wouldn’t expect you to understand, they don’t teach you about propaganda in American history lessons.

        If you think the stereotype of French haughtiness doesn’t predate 2003, I don’t know what to tell you.

        Using the ‘uneducated American’ stereotype doesn’t really help your case. At all.

            So you dislike stereotypes only when they’re used about you.

            No, I’m pointing out hypocrisy.

              From someone who posted a “meme” disparaging all French people and then points out the usage of stereotypes. Yeah. Hypocrisy at its finest.

                “I’m going to learn French so I can refuse to speak it” is disparaging French people.

                Okay.
