    I am french so super biased, but I think the joke is that nobody really hates the French so we’re eligible to be joke-hated.

      I love how the French are largely ungovernable, but y’all are definitely snooty. I remember having a French exchange student who refused to eat corn because it was for cows. And who refused to eat cheese in the us, even when it was properly fancy cheese. But he loved epoisse.

          We gave him corn tortillas and didn’t tell him what they were made from until after he loved them. Masa is beige gold.

        Them being ungovernable probably has a large roll for why media portrays them in a bad light.

        I wouldn’t think governments and corporations around the world would want their populations being more like the French
