Why oh why oh why do we Brits all hate Americans so much, why do we mock the inflicted? especially when ..?

Question

we both could be picking on a much worthier nation ... France.

I think its about time we saw some anti french feeling on here.
Have we all forgotten ... sasha distel? Jean Michel Jarre? Daftpunk? Antoine the arrogant little **** who was your French exchange student?
Not to mention French lessons at school, the irregular verb "avoir"

They continuley pick fights with the Germans they just cant win, so we have to go over there and sort out the mess.
There biggest contribution to the world is the bidet.
The list is endless, I stay stop American bashing, yes they might be fat, uneducated, ignorant twats but they arent French!

Answer 1

Oh gawd - there's another woman after you now. Are they a fashion accessory or something?

I have to tell you something, come and find me

Answer 2

I dislike them both.

But on the other hand, France is only a chunnel away and has cheap booze, warm seas and sandy beaches. Can't say much about the people though.
If you feel the need to mock them though, it isn't hard, just look up Waterloo, Crecy and Agincourt, or most of their wars for that matter.

The very avoir may be irritating, but etre is worse, especially when you've just spend weeks learning avoir and get them mixed up.

But now I feel the need to correct some of the more arrogant, ignorant Americans answering.

To Wiseass - We have free dental care on the NHS, whereas unless I'm mistaken you have to pay for all health care of any kind. I actually don't know anyone with bad teeth over here. The only reason the teeth thing came about in the first place was Americas only contact with Brits was scurvy riddled sailors.

- You were the first to fly, yes, but we invented the Jet engine and the Jump Jet.

-Electricity wasn't discovered how to be used by an American. Mostly it can be attributed to the Englishman Michael Faraday, and several Frenchmen.

-We have enough inventions and discoveries of our own to not need to be jealous of yours.

- A third of your country believes you never landed on the moon. Not that I don't, but I think it says volumes about your country.

-French Fries come from Belgian, and they're just a version of the chip which has been around far longer.

-A lot of the best wine comes from South Africa, Australia, etc, France has no monopoly. Some good quality wine even comes from England these days, although it's generally been for too cold here.

-I find it really ironic you're saying we have lame humour. It is commonly accepted that Americans just can't understand it properly because it's too subtle.

-I didn't know what French toast was, but it's just eggy bread and something about as French as fries.

Answer 3

We may be fat, uneducated, ignorant twats but we still kicked your *** in the Revolutionary War (so did the French). I'm not saying the French are good. Their women may have hairy arm pits, but at least they can brush their teeth.

And why do the Brits feel the need to trash talk Americans? Maybe it has something to do with Americans being the first to fly or discovering how to use electricity? Perhaps your country is jealous that we landed on the moon and you didn't. Perhaps your all upset because we were responsible for computers and the Internet.

The French have given us wine, French Fries and French Toast. The English just have a muffin a language we've managed to destroy and really lame humor.

Answer 4

Mmmmm! I am British and I don't hate Americans. I have family and friends that are American.
I also do not hate the French. I love France (I admit I do not really like Paris that much....but then again I do not like many big city's or towns...Including London apart from Tokyo...I love Tokyo...In fact I just love Japan has a whole)
When my sister and I were little our baby-sitter was French, she would teach us French and read French stories to us. She was a wonderful, lovely, friendly person and I have never forgotten her.
There is good and bad in all nations and peoples. It seems to be human nature to pick out the negatives. There was a thing we did at college which was the teacher would hold up a piece of brilliant white card and on that card was a small black dot, which represented imperfection. He then asked us what we could see and we all said a black dot...the purpose of this exercise was that we all concentrated on the imperfection of an otherwise perfect, beautiful piece of white card. Which seems to be they way we humans look at others around us.

Answer 5

Hello,

I DONT think bashing the French is the answer here!!. French bashing doesnt serve any better value or use to anyone than US Bashing. We all have things we dislike about other countries and other cultures (as well as things we like).

There is a vast list of why I hate US forgein policy & an equally large list of things I dislike about Amercian culture in general. Not to mention the dreadfull US president who has brought nothing good on the US since he came into office.

I DONT hate individual americans though I want to stress that point, because I have met and spoken with several americans who I liked & felt respect for. So you cannot tarnish ALL americans or french with the same brush in my opinion.

**Hatred of a people/s or culture or country is ultimately what ends in wars, so bashing anyone isnt a desirable thing IMO.

Answer 6

I don't hate Americans...where did you get such an idea? Been to the USA many times and always found the people friendly and very polite.

OK their leader may be a bit of a lad but you cannot blame the bloke in the street for that just as you cannot blame me for what our beloved leader Tony what's his name gets up to.

As to the French....don't know any so cannot comment.

Answer 8

You obviously know nothing of the Americans or the French, Ignorance is giving an opinion on something you know nothing about, I know both races and have many friends amongst them they are nothing like your discription . Of course there are ignorant french and Americans as there are ignorant British. We already have an example here

Answer 9

I'm just loving the fact that by including hatred for the french in their question, someone has been able to call americans fat, uneducated, ignorant twats and so far we've only got one 'god bless america' reply.
Nice deflection. LMAO

Answer 10

The Brits all hate americans due to the brain and knowledge they have techanically and practically too much than American who are not techanically not practically too and lives always complex too this is a only reason to hate Americans lol

Answer 11

Forget the French, they have great food and beautiful women. I vote for mocking the Albanians because they have neither. Any country that can be bankrupted by a pyramid scam deserves what they get.
