      I actually like French as a language. But, like German humor, apparently France is no laughing matter.

        It’s not the laughing about France that gets me, it’s the over-generalization about all French people from a few encounters with shitty people. Every country has people like that.

        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.

            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. Funny how racism works.

                  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.

        Just translate the lines in German and Italian*. Also the thing about the “best” contribution is clearly blatantly racist.

        Edit because clearly my original comment which was removed hit home for the mod, it said you’re all fucking racist. Cope.

        Another edit to show how incredibly racist you all are:
