For the last few years, especially after the 9/11 disaster. There has been quite a number of people, a good number of them being Americans going after people of certain backgrounds including the French, Islamic followers and more

• Francophobia - Fear of France or French culture. (Gallophobia, Galiophobia)
  

You're probably laughing at this right now. But you must realize that it's the reality today that there are some people resorting to such a low level on bashing the French because of the political differences between them. Not only to mention that they cannot accept any single form of criticism. Can't one realize that it can be quite dangerous for a large number of people to band together against a certain country over a stupid reason which can cripple the U.S.-French relations? Especially when they don't know or understand half of the crap they're spewing out! Most of them are stereotypes, only they ignore that part. But when somebody else point it out, they jump all over the person and yell at the person to get out of the U.S.A.

I have a French surname, and I don't let most of the Anti-French rants get to me. Some people are so hostile toward such people of different backgrounds simply over the politicians in the country of France. They created so much stereotypes about these people, it's no wonder why Americans are opting for T-shirts with Canadian flags on them to go undercover as Canadian tourists in Europe. Heck, it bothers the Americans when they're being badmouthed by somebody else. But will they ever learn to ignore it?

Doubtful, they think that talking back and resorting to such dirty tactics is the answer to every problem.

After all, I thought renaming French Fries to Freedom Fries was going a tad too far especially when the government was involved with doing such a thing! No, I'm not telling you to be careful when you are expressing yourself. But I do caution you to not allow your bias to get into your way of thinking. One-sided opinions can and will backfire on you which already happened.

If it wasn't for the French, you wouldn't be where you are today... being the world's most powerful country. Yet you think that saving their country twice in World War I and II was worth far more than their assistance to your American revolution. You wouldn't had been able to save the French in the first place if it wasn't for them helping you win the revolution.

Please think twice before saying something so childish and unnecessary or you'll end up looking like an ass which you've failed to succeed at so many times. Just like McFly from Back to the Future couldn't just walk away after being called a chicken and end up getting himself into deep doo-doo.

Now, now... before you run off to your blogsite and write a half-assed blog entry on this. Point one finger, four fingers are pointing back at you. All I did was tell the truth about some Francophobic folks... I said some, not all. It's quite interesting how some rabid toy poodles bark on their blogsites but their bites are nothing. Would be nice to have them debarked though because nothing come out of them but all twisted-up bits.
