I'm american and I don't hate the french, I'm more sad that we don't have bro-tier relations with our glorious European allies

Because they hate us first. I can guarantee that no matter what, if you admit to being American, they'll assume you're a fat, loud, cheeseburger chasing tourist. Although this is most of the dipshit Europeans on this site's thoughts as a whole.

I'm learning french and hope to move to france or at least canada. Anyone here french? Do you really hate america? I like to believe you don't, how would you act is an almost fluent french speaking american moved in next door? What would you assume?

>Why does everyone in this massive group of people hate everyone in this massive group of people?

I've been to Paris before. It was dirty, smelly, and the people complete assholes

Met some nice people there, though. You guys are a minority out there.

Because they can't find them on the map,apparently along with the rest of the world except Japan and Russia.

>Hohoho where is my cheese and my wine. Hohoho Baguette

French are arrogant in the sense of believing they are the cultural progenitors of the Western world. They are some of the only people who will actively disparage you, as an English speaker, for not speaking their language with a PERFECT accent. Everywhere else they're just happy you're trying.

Americans are arrogant in the sense of "holy fucking shit these people are dumb fat jingoist ultranationalist parodies of themselves." To pretty much everyone in the world, Americans are the morbidly obese redneck who barely speaks his own language, saturates their culture with junk food media, and then brags about it.

Their personalities just kind of conflict.

>>640406
But instead, you get bro-tier relations with Israel!

>>640392
You're thinking of the english.

Je suis Americaine, mais je ne les deteste pas.
J'apprends la langue et veux visiter la France.

Fuck the haters.

>>640446
Oh great, I'm just clamoring to go to Isreal

I went backpacking in Europe for a bit. Stopped by in Paris, Nice, and Saint-Malo. Virtually no French people treated me poorly, and I asked for directions practically every half block. Actually, that goes for every place in Europe I visited.
I'm a Korean born Canadian, so not even white.

>talking about Americans and French
>post Scottish guy playing English space alien

Coz theyre mad that the only worthy landmark in their country was given as a gift from us (statue of liberty).

>Why do Americans hate the French so much?

FREEDOM FRIES!
FREEDOM FRIES!
GOOOOOO TEAM!

You know what,fuck this discussion.
Watch "European Vacation" for a direct example why Americans are hated in these situations.

>>640538
They have mcdonalds in france, french slang is McDo. They also have subway, not much else in the way of fast food though

>>640533
nigger you weren't even alive during the war.

>>640533
> act of the gov't
Why should I care even the tiniest bit at all?

I think you have it the other way around, the French hate Americans.

French Resistance:
>I called Hitler a fag once I AM A HERO
Polish Resistance:
>I liberated a concentration camp with a captured Tiger and gave the inmates guns to help the resistance. It's no big deal, I was only doing what was needed of me.

>>640598
again, it's not like every french person or even most french people had a say in it. also that was almost a century ago

French guy here.
We don't hate americans, we just disagree (most of us I think) on America's politics.
We kindly greet every foreigner, it's just that no one speak english here.

>>640427
Paris sucks, the only people who love Paris are parisians.

>>640598

Don't forget that some Poles kep up the resistance until 1947 against the Soviets. Hardcore.

i dunno man i mean the murrickuns usually think of france as a bunch of gay faggots wearing berets eating nothing but frogs, snails, and baguettes.

i mean, sure they're massively gay faggots, but they have good food mang

>>640563

>WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME *LATELY*

Fuckheads with no understanding or appreciation of history. People in the South still call the American Civil War the "war of northern aggression" 200 fucking years after the fucking fact, and you think the defining conflict of the 20th century is obsolete? Old shit? That the trends established then don't hold true today? God fucking damn you idiots

Because when I went to France, people were assholes.

Example:
>Want to have a picture taken
>In (broken) French try to ask a person passing by to take our picture
>Looks at me with the utmost disgust and just walks away without saying anything

My whole trip was like that. That wasn't even the worst example

I don't. I rather like the French. I always stand up for them when I hear somebody irrationally hating on them.

>>640702
Dude, that's because you were a disgusting tourist.

>>640715
Still no reason to be impolite. Here in New Orleans we get tourists all the time and we at least know to be at the very least polite.

The French were assholes. I toured all of Europe and that was legit the worst place I visited.

Out of curiosity, how are black people treated in France?

I've heard a lot of nice things when they're native to France themselves, but what about Americans?

>>640702

>>In (broken) French try to ask a person passing by to take our picture
>(broken) French

hurr durr y they no like me?

Do you ever get that feeling of rising contempt/scoffing attitude when some beaner or Chinaman etc. can't speak English properly? Yeah, the French are like that too.

US propaganda.

After the war de Gaulle did everything he could to combat American influence on the European continent and foiled their attempts to turn France into a client state like they did with Britain.

Naturally the US government was pissed and commissioned Hollywood to produce media that gave an unfair portrayal of the French to the American public.

>>640691
> france as a collective nation
> implying they have to help us
> implying it in any affects how they act in their daily lives

> that the trends established then don't hold true today
They don't, "god fucking damn you hurr durr"

I'm not American, but fuck the French anyway.
Their language makes my ears bleed. It just sounds so stupid.
And I have yet to meet a French person who can speak English without sounding like he just entered middle school.

Seriously, fuck those Frenchies.

>>640691
So I'm supposed to respect every retarded shit that comes out of your mouth because of what some people(now mostly skeletons)did?Prototip brainwashed idiot.

>>640741
That is New Orleans.
The south is supposed to be nice and hospitable.
In other countries, like France, people do not take kindly to tourists.
Seeing as how most of the time, tourists are assholes who don't give a shit,
the French get tired of it and are assholes back.

>>640702

Maybe people were assholes to you because you were disgusting, nothing to do with you being American? Tip: The rest of the world hates your politics, but everyone still loves you deep down. Everybody loves hollywood movies, American music and mcdonalds.

Is this still true or just overblown by the media and an old cliche in TV shows that writers will still use no matter how things change(like jocksvsgeeks in highschool or Brits and their bad teeth)

I guess it's just a simple case of un-cultured and cultured.

Ignoring Paris and english-filled holiday camps, Franceis a god-tier place to visit

Also
Uk jokes of the french > USA jokes of the french.
It's like your trying to copy us.Next thing you know you'll be making Ginger jokes..I mean just the one joke over and over

>>Be Canadian
>>Go on a trip across Europe
>>Wear Canadian flag on my backpack because fuck yeah
>>Be in Paris
>>Go to the metro there
>>Our tickets won't work
>>Politely ask a guard for help in English, since I can't speak French (although I can understand some of it)
>>The guard says something to me en Francais
>>I bashfully say "sorry, I can't speak French", feeling embarrassed because I don't feel like a real Canadian
>>He laughs at me, and his friends a few metres away laugh too
>>He repeats what I just said, making fun of my voice
>>"hurr I can't speak ze French!" and keeps laughing
>>Finally helps me, but with a huge shit-eating grin on his face


Why, France?

Because the French hate us and act like assholes.

Listen man, I just want to look at some shit and spend money in your country. I am not a suggestion box for America.

>>640804
>In other countries, like France, people do not take kindly to tourists.
And this is why I think they're assholes.
I guarantee we get more asshole tourists every Mardi Gras then they see in an entire year and not to mention all the Asian tourists (I don't know why but old Chinese and Korean women LOVE New Orleans) who don't speak a lick of English and if I can still be polite, so can they. If you live in a big tourist spot like Paris it comes with the territory.

But that was my other main problem with France: It wasn't just the big tourist spots where people were assholes. It was everywhere. I toured the countryside and people were still assholes, even to my friend that spoke flawless French. I didn't meet a single person over the age of 25 in France that wasn't an asshole.

They're a bunch of douchey pussies, the don't have any balls.

Okay, maybe the niggas in trenches had balls, but they dead

>>640818
I fail to see how I was anyway disgusting.

>>640821
It's the same for English speaking countries (USA, Britain, Canada etc). The French just mock us and laugh it out.
Perhaps the history between the English and and the French.

>>640848
I'm pretty surprised people were assholes around the countryside...
They should've been a lot nicer than the cities and such.
We, Americans are just as big assholes as other countries though.

Also people over the age of 25...
I think those people would be less likely to be nice to you anyway.
Old people suck.

>>640848
>I guarantee we get more asshole tourists every Mardi Gras then they see in an entire year
France is actually the most visited country in the world.

>We, Americans are just as big assholes as other countries though.

Not all Americans. American Tourist cities are usually pretty good about being polite and most European that I've meet love how polite people are in the South. Which is interesting, because it is the southern sterotype which gets made fun of the most.

Our biggest problem is that LA and New York City happen to be our national asshole capitals.

Please everyone

Paris is NOT France.
The french hates Parisians

Also we have no problems with Americans

>>640955
I'm not denying they get more, I'm just saying we get more assholes.

>>640933
Yeah, it was pretty bad. The worst was at a little cafe along the road where we stopped in and this one cashier was downright rude the moment she realized we were Americans.

And by no-means were the people under 25 that we met rude, but they were in no way friendly.

I would say the English hate the French more, and have good reason for it.

When I went to France on a school trip, all the people were creepy and fucking aggresive and douchey. I had a store owner tell me (in broken English) to "find something useful to do" with myself. "WHY DON'T YOU AH...AH...GO AND DO THE MASTURBATION! GET OUT OF HERE!" Also creepy gypsy children throwing glass bottles and fireworks at us. Men would come up and grab the girls in our group or try to rip off their clothes. This was all in Paris of course. Pissed me off because I just wanted to enjoy the city.

Switzerland, England and Italy were much better.

The French are the only people with more hubris than us, and we like to be number one at everything.

When I was in France some dude pissed on our car because the license plate was from the Netherlands. When I yelled at him he started running away with his dick hanging out lol.

>>640962
Let me correct myself,
We, Americans can be just as big of assholes as other countries.
But just like not all Americans are assholes, not all French (and others) are assholes.
And it's come to the point where people should already know what to expect of New Yorkers - rude Americans.

>>641001
Well then, I don't know. Maybe it was your appearance that put them off or they people you met just actually disliked Americans.
Sucks for you though.
If you're going to visit a country though, it's just kind of obvious to learn the basics of the language and the customs.
I think this is one of the main reasons other countries hate when people come visit, because no one really gives enough of a shit to learn.

I'm Canadian, I'm fine with the French, but I can't stand the Quebecois. They're a bunch of annoying,elitist assholes that can't speak proper french and they hate Parisians who, mind you, created the Quebecois.

>implying Americans give a shit about non American things/people

Because of this.

asoimdp93d,m3092kd29kd32d

>>641051
And we did. One of the members of our group spoke fluently, another spoke Cajun French fluently so could at least get a point across if he needed to and the rest of us at least knew the basics.
We tried so hard not to come across as asshole tourists and maybe we just had bad luck and maybe I was just spoiled by how well I was treated in England, Spain and Italy, but it wasn't a fun place to visit.

>>641010
>"WHY DON'T YOU AH...AH...GO AND DO THE MASTURBATION! GET OUT OF HERE!"

That's not rude, that's fucking adorable.

Long story short, Americans have the 9th largest penises in the world, whereas the French have the 1st largest.

>>641090
Ah, well you just met shitty French folk. :(

I hope things go well whenever I save up enough money and visit.
I've already got an alright grasp of the language and learned about their customs in French class.

>>641109
I think I want a French penis now.

>>641109
>Americans under Japan
Nice troll you've got there, buddy.

i've visited spain and france. the spanish were all extremely friendly and helpful. the french ... less so.

People are like "well I visited the restaurant du le tour eiffell and le garcon was an asshole to me!"

But like...you're going to this place which isn't even inhabited (sadly) by the native people of that country. They see the same types of people day after day and i'm sure seeing your country being covered by people who just come to take some pictures, enjoy some novelties and then return home to tell all of their friends, they would get a little annoyed.

I mean my assumption, and I could be wrong here, is learn the language, don't act as if you're in amazement by every little thing, don't gawk and just act like you're going for a walk or something in your own town.

Think about when you encounter someone in your own country who barely speaks the language and doesn't know the culture, it is tough not to but you get a little annoyed.


Go to the eiffel tower if you want, but i'm sure you would be treated differently there than you would in like normandy or brittany or somewhere not as touristy.

>>641133

>i'm sure seeing your country being covered by people who just come to take some pictures, enjoy some novelties and then return home to tell all of their friends, they would get a little annoyed.

There are plenty of places in America that get tons of tourist, though Americans seem to be aware that they are what is keeping their local economy going and treat them well.

>>641133
Seriously, fuck Paris.
I've never been out of the United States in my life, and you couldn't pay me to go there. What the fuck do you want to see the Eiffel Tower for?

I'd love to wine and brandy my ass off in France, though.

>>641124

Japanese penises being small is a myth (I can tell you that because I've fucked a lot of Japanese guys and I also watch a lot of Japanese porn). Note that 70% of Japan's population is composed of Mongols, whereas the remainder are Okinawans, who are descended from Polynesia--or in other words, a large percentage of Japanese men are very tall, and therefore have proportionally large penises.

The myth of Japanese guys having small dicks may have come from various Asian countries, such as South Korea, which features an abnormally short population (whose penises, though proportional, are "small" when compared to other races). Many people assume that "Asian" is a race when it's not; every country in Asia features vastly different races who came from vastly different portions of the world.

>>641133

>Think about when you encounter someone in your own country who barely speaks the language and doesn't know the culture, it is tough not to but you get a little annoyed.

No, I don't.

>>641155
Don't forget the Ainu.

I went to France as part of a class trip years ago, in Primary 7, and the French were actually pretty cool (save for the costumed a ssholes in Disneyland, but I hated Disneyland anyway so no love was lost there).

Actually one guy tapped me on the head and asked "Hey, Scotteesh?" "Yeah that's right" "Ah, bon!" Then gave a thumbs up and walked off. How he even guessed that I have no idea.

>>641155
i have a bigger dick than every dude i've seen in japanese porn. my dick is like half the size of the dudes in american porn.

>>641150

But also all of those places are being visited by people here.

I went to Niagra Falls and everyone was friendly for the most part. because it isn't that different from here.
Also I don't know what America you live in...but everyone is bitter and miserable here unless they're like 60 or from the country. You go into the big cities or smaller cities even and people aren't neccesarily rude, but they aren't very welcoming.

Americans don't really hate the French, they're just told to hate the French, and monkey see, monkey do. Most Americans have never even been to France or spoken to a French person.

It's all American propaganda. If Americans ever found out that French people have more freedom than they do, they would start emulating the French and that might lead to more secular politics and a stronger political voice among the bourgeois.

I think the Americans who hate the French are just doing so because they think the french hate us.
and their fashion sensibility and culinary style offends their simple meat and potatoes/manly man delusions.

The french are hostile to americans mostly I think cus of the butthurt of changing the UN language to english over french.. or something. French used to be like English is now all over the world. Educated people and leaders of country always spoke it as a second language and the french could go just about anywhere without speaking the language, the way English is now, so I think that really irritates them.

>>641180
... What a weird thing to ask and walk away from.

>>641186

>Also I don't know what America you live in...but everyone is bitter and miserable here unless they're like 60 or from the country.

What America do you live in? Obviously not the one I do.

>>641155

Nobody believes that story, your probably some buttmad Japanese guy
