Am i alone on this??

Question

Is it true most Brits don't like the french because i don't know why but i have an extremly strong hatred of the french i find them too arogant, backstabbing, up themselves (put nicly), and totally ignorant and rude lol although i think this does anyone else???

ow ye to add i am completly aware the french feel the same way about us but what people forget is we had 100 years of war against them maybe thats why we don't seem to like each other. also i am completly aware some if not most yanks like the french but i swear the only thing in my oppinion we can learn from the french is how to be annoying i am fully aware some individuals are nice as i know or have met some but on the whole i stick with my oppions on them

Answer 1

I have always liked the French people I've met.

MOOOOOOOO MOOOOOOOO

Answer 2

Well, I'm a (somewhat-bilingual) Canadian, so I kind of like the French by default . . . but let me assure you, the French don't like the Brits either.
You know, every country or culture seems to need another country or culture to hate, or at least make fun of. Usually it's a nearby one. Canadians make fun of Americans, Guatemalans hate Mexicans, and the Brits and French can't stand one another. It's not the individuals we dislike; we can be friends with individuals. It's the country or culture as a whole.
As for the arrogance, well, yes. Arrogance is one of their idiosyncrasies, a part of their culture. Saying the French are arrogant is like saying Americans are ignorant or the Dutch (/Scottish/Jews) are cheap. Not necessarily true, but generally recognized.

Answer 3

Do you actually know any French people? because this is the complete opposite of the many French people I have met and made friends with. They are very courteous, friendly and helpful, at least that has been my experience in different parts of France.The average Briton could learn a lot from them in my opinion.I am British by the way in case you think I am a Frenchman
praising my own folk.

Answer 4

NO, you're not Alone My mother whose is British as well hates the French, Because their Rude, Annoying Arrogant, Self-Centered Snobs But as for Me I actually Like the French They're pretty Cool.

Answer 5

i have grown up somehow just knowing that the Brits are meant to hate the french. I can't stand by that though, because every single french person i have met has been thoroughly helpful and just, well nice. perhaps i have been lucky in just meeting the good ones lol.

Answer 6

The brits love france but hate the french...usually

celts excepted.

Answer 7

The English hatred of the French is illogical.

Answer 8

I don't understand why we dislike them, all our lives we are taught to favour the underdog, an apt descriptionof the French so why do we break the rule here - and of course there is this thing about the French being to only people who can cook or make love????????????????????

Answer 9

That's funny, I feel the same way with regard to the British I meet overseas. But when I meet them in the US, I tend to like them. Maybe they are on bad behavior in Indonesia or Bahrain, and on good behavior in the US. Or maybe they are nicer to other whites than they are toward heathens with brown skin. Or perhaps different classes of Brits travel to different spots on the globe. I can't figure it out.

Come to think of it, I feel the same way about my fellow Americans, actually.

Answer 10

Ithink the French are a little bit jealous and envious of us Brits as we have such a fantastic country with our Monarchy wich is much admired throughout the world

Answer 11

I'm an American i don't share your opinion of the french. Are you talking about individual french people or they nation as it relates to Britain. i know they are traditional enemies.
