    I really don’t like “haha France 🤢” memeage.

    It just seems like holdover from the Iraq invasion when they were, you know, right.

      It’s definitely older than that. I remember French jokes going back decades before. They’ve always been a punching bag in America’s eyes. “The French are smelly.” “The French are snobby.” “The French are cowards.” If I had to guess, it probably goes back to WWII and their occupation by the Nazis.

    Yeah, they don’t like to talk about the part where France financed the American Revolution.

  From every experience I ha e had with the French, it has always been very pleasant. Rudest people I have met are the Chinese, British and American tourists.
