Do Americans hate French people??

Except @AN3TT3 and @Jomora_moon, every time I talk to Americans, or tell them I want to talk to them, they either leave me on "seen" or they never contact me.. I think you guys don't really like frenchies huh ??😭😭

The fact that I have (edit: I had) Pip as my profile picture is quite ironic too, given that in South Park he's hated because he's British💔

But anyway.. I just want an answer cuz I really want to talk to American people cuz I find them really cool

as a person who doesn't watch South Park, I say leave pip alone guys, like why ya'll hating? He looks very swagger✌ 🤍

OMG THANK YOU DAMNIT

Some probably do but not all of them. Thank you for finding Americans to be cool, I had always thought the whole world hated us.

I would love to be able to visit France one day. I find French history very interesting and from the pictures I have seen the countryside looks beautiful.

Most Americans have never been outside their country and have a limited media created stereotypical view of the world that is laughable to the rest of us.
They'll believe anything the media or government tells them 'cause they simply don't know any better.

You just have to give them a good first impression for my cousin he told me that many Americans that talked to him were bored at some point so if you’re funny or just kind because it’s rare nowadays there’s great chances that they keep talking w you like they did w me

Never heard that

Now you have

As an old sister here who had American exes, and also visited Paris, I have met good people from both countries. I am really sorry to read this post.

I think social media (Tiktok, Reels) promoted too much steroetypes or impressions that happened individually. Love and peace for all users on this platform.

No, that thing goes back to WW2 (France vs America).
If not even to colonial times in America.

I have visited both countries and there are nice people in both countries. French people are more reluctant to people who doesn`t speak french. Americans are more open to strangers.

I heard that France was blamed, for example, Paris surrandered very fast when Hitler arrived, because they lost a lot during WWI, forgive me that if there's anything more to it that I don't know. 🙏

But I mean more like how people on social media talks about social behaviors.. people kept making short videos based on sterotypes, about how Americans communicate or French people communicate to get more comments, or for the views. But it makes people choose sides, like that they are against each other or something. Ah, just like you said hours ago, people believe in social media too much without seeing the world by themselves.

Side-note: I have read stories about Simone de Beauvoir and her American lover Nelson Algren, and Boris Vian with his American ex-wife. I have also seen the movie À bout de souffle, by Jean Luc Godard. I think the people from both countries, especially literati, are just secretly in love with each other. Hahahaha.

French people hated the Americans when they came over after D-day and all the women wanted them.
It might have started there but it can also be from colonial times between France and England where it lies.

French and American cultures are vastly different.

"...Paris surrandered very fast when Hitler arrived..."
That is true. And the Wehrmacht surrendered very fast Paris when the Allies arrived.
Advantage is - Paris was almost undestroyed after the war and you can still see it how it was 500 years ago.

Ummm.... What?

America is large place. Think of it as an island... a very large island, at that. Employers here are not legally obliged to offer vacation, though most offer at least a week's paid vacation each year.

Think about that. One week's vacation makes it hard to plan an overseas trip. When I was in the Army, I could take up 60 days per year, and for my current job, up to 30 days, so I'm luckier than most.

Flying out is also expensive. A trip to Paris from St. Louis, for example. Can be prohibitive for people here. It's different in Europe where I can fly to Berlin from Paris and be walking down the Champs in a couple hours.

As far as believing what the media says? A recent poll stated that trust in much of the legacy Media outlets here in the States is at an all time low. Trump's campaign was able to capitalize on that with the last election being as much referendum on our legacy media as it was the Democratic party.

As far Americans not wanting to talk to someone from France? My grandfather despised French people, as he felt they were ungrateful. I don't share that view. I think it might simply be the original posters age, or the fact that Americans they are writing to simply want pen-pals that are not from France.

"... have a limited media created stereotypical view of the world..."

Thats exactly what many germans think about US-citizen and what they are not aware of is, that their own view of americans is the same way a stereotypical view. Most of them don`t know a single US-citizen personally but they have a strong opinion about them.

Ahh yes... I remember the Claas Relotius and Der Spiegel scandal. Very little that I read bothers me, but that article did. I could tell that he was playing on all the stereotypes that Europeans have about those of us who live in rural America. Mind you, I do know people here who are kind of like that, but even they are more complex than simple stereotypes.

Sigh... I give French friends a hard time about their 35 hour work week though... lol ...

The media will always play on stereotypes to set people up against each other.
Or just for shock value and sales.
