Understood.
But, in this country at least, I run into people who do hate the French, among a long list of other people/organizations. And when you press them to explain.....They don't seem to have anything but superficial answers, most likely gleaned from superficial sources who have a nefarious agenda. (Like Rush Limbaugh or FoxNews for example.
)
The article is funny, BTW. It just got me thinking.
