Everyone is appreciated in the USA. It doesn't matter where you are from, everybody is a respected part of society. Many people in the USA are of French descent, especially in Louisiana.

You will find that most Americans will be very friendly.
In fact, you may find the American habit of immediate informality and the presumption of close friendship disturbing.
Most Americans have a negative view of the French government but my opinion is that Americans are less negative about the French Government than the French are about the American government.
You will discover that Americans are less interested in politics and world affairs than are the French. Consequently, if you do not mention politics they will not.
If you visit the United States and travel to areas other than the big cities you will find that many Americans have never met a Frenchman. In many small towns you will treated like a celebrity.
Please come visit the United States. I believe that you will be pleasantly surprised by the goodness and hospitality of its people.

The French do get respect here in the USA. But you know what when we go to Paris the people are very rude (in general).
Go outside of Paris and it is a different story altogether.
I have French friends here and they love it.
By the way I was born in la belle Belgique and the French do not like us either and vice versa , but I am a Yank now and not so proud of our politics. So Bon Soir!

They'll be fine to you. They speak bad of the french sometimes, but you'll find crowd mentality keeps them in check. In real life, they'll treat you as anyone else, unless you're accent is Heavy. Even then it won't be so bad unless you're incomprehensible. I doubt that. You'll be fine.

The French are treated well here in the US. It's too bad the reverse is not true. While it's improving, there is still a lot to be desired.

I think that we should learn about our world and about other cultures and France has alot of different cultures then from here!
