Purely out of curiosity, why would anyone be happy to hate on Americans?
I have French blood, and I’m proud of it, I make no secret of the fact that I root for La République whenever they have a sporting fixture, even if it’s with England, although I’m happy for my kids and my friends if England win anything.
I fly the Tricoleur on Bastille Day, and flew a small one on my Black Cab during the World Cup and Euros, much to the chagrin of my fellow drivers, so I’ve experienced the senseless insults about France and the French, from people who’ve never set foot there.
Okay, I poked the bear by proudly declaring my allegiance, but what transgressions have Americans committed to earn their opprobrium?
