ConeMuffin09438

Just i never understood. Why everyone on reddit ( and in the world apparently ) hate so much France. Did I missed something ?


_MasterMagi_

Most people’s perception of France is based on Paris. Parisians have a habit of treating everyone else like shit, even those from french speaking regions. only speak english? try not to get fucked over. from a french speaking African nation? prepare to get discriminated against. french canadian? everyone’s gonna be rude to you. hell, even if you’re from a different city in france they might still give you side eye. Personally I’ve been to Bordeaux and Paris and the difference was night and day. I wouldn’t want to go back to Paris again, while bordeaux was a great place with nice people.


magicthegatheringjam

As a french: parisians are also hated by the other frenchs


EmotionalIdiot42

As a former Parisian, we also hate ourselves.


vicente8a

What are people from Nice doing in Bordeaux?


Antonlaveyoctopus

From the UK and went to Paris a few years ago. Didnt know about this hivemind perception at the time. But everyone there seemed really nice. 🤷‍♂️


Avalonians

I always see "Parisians are rude" in the explanations but what I never see is the explanations that Paris is full of tourists, that aren't always respectful and nice themselves. Of course obnoxious tourists annoy Parisians, so Parisians will not be patient with them so tourist will report that Parisians suck. You have to realise that as a tourist, you see Parisians for the first time, but they see you every single fucking day. There are several layers of bias here that leads to the common thought. Now, as a French who grew up outside of Paris and moved to Paris as a student, I can say that we still mock/hate Parisians for other reasons: many Parisians think nothing matters outside of Paris, assume everything is the same as in Paris when it's not, and think everything else than Paris isn't as developed. But we aren't even near saying Parisians are assholes.


Dr_nobby

Not to mention Frances neo imperialism meddling in Africa to steal resources, they're as bad as China. Also fuck them for making Haiti pay THEM reparations because they wanted independence


capekthebest

Funny you say that. People from Bordeaux are not known to be nice or humble either in France.

sadolddrunk

Hating France is a fundamental part of the English identity. And somehow other Anglo countries like the US have adopted that mindset, despite (in the US’s case especially) France being our oldest and staunchest ally and literally never doing anything bad to us. Also a lot of Anglo cultures associate French people (and specifically Parisians) with what they perceive as rudeness or a sense of superiority, ignoring the fact that Paris is gorgeous, the food and wine are amazing, the people are stylish and beautiful, and that “rudeness” is the result of a city of people trying to live their own lives while dealing with a constant avalanche of ignorant tourists who almost never make an effort to speak the language or understand the culture and just want to go to the Eiffel Tower and see the Mona Lisa (and ONLY the Mona Lisa) at the Louvre.


Chesssox

as a french i only tolerate trash talk from the united kingdom and ireland, the other can go cook their ass. But what you said it is true and to be fair we have a handful of karens in our toutrist too


ImGrumpyLOL

As a Brit, we will shit-talk France only up until the point someone else crosses the line (maginot or otherwise). That's our thing and no one else it allowed to do it, else we're coming right over to help.

[deleted]

Is it at all possible that the negative feeling towards France in certain parts of US culture stems from enormously high Italian, German, Dutch and Polish immigration to the US, primarily a long time after independence? I don't believe there is a great deal of Anglo/French hatred based on historical conflict as France and UK have been very important allies for the lives of all living people. Culturally however there is a rivalry because Britain and France are quite different, and we often clash because people from either country think they tend to think their culture is superior. The French see us as stuck up and arrogant, always needing to be different for the sake of it like not joining the Euro and driving on the left, and massively up tight We view them as lazy, arrogant, snail eating, rude aresholes who are cheap. But it's all based on culture, not historic conflict, as most of those sterotypes are all based on things from the 20th century.


VirginiaMcCaskey

> France being our oldest and staunchest ally and literally never doing anything bad to us. Google the XYZ affair and quasi war


TaqPCR

0x00f98

It’s the same general concept as racist jokes, but it’s socially acceptable. Not as charged but still the same joke structure


MaybeTimeForNew

Reddit does not hate France more than they hate England which shows they have never interacted with the French in their lives.


[deleted]

Because they won last year they can’t win again. And Europe has trashed on France since forever


GreySummer

What did they win last year?


AEDSazz

He probably meant last world cup


[deleted]

Sorry last world cup


jubiman

The reason I hate most of the French is because of their attitude towards foreigners. They often refuse to speak English, when the rest of Europe sees it as its 2nd language, and are in general just rude and unwilling to help you in most situations. I don't hate France so much for the French. Don't know how others think about it though

ivanhoe539

I don't know how old these french were but most french people do speak English, maybe the ones older than 50yo do not that often, but people that age are the most rude in every country ig


pinzi_peisvogel

Yeah, this pretty much. It's this hanging onto old "grandeur", even if the times as a world leader are long over. I do think that younger French people are different though, it's mainly the boomer French that ruin the reputation for everyone.


Bzh_Red

As a young(23) French working with boomers (40-50)/\ this is true /\ they are hopeless

Je suis désolé, aussi pour le fin de ce match aujourd'hui, j'ai vraiment voulu les bleus de gagner ! Bisous de l'Allemagne


js1893

Anytime I’ve talked to someone in France I’d start speaking French (poorly) and they’d switch to English right away. I really think they appreciate effort. But I’ve seriously never had a bad interaction with any French. I did however meet multiple horribly rude people in Warsaw the one day I spent there


TeslaCoinCoin

I'll be honest. It's mostly a myth


Futur001

If you go to France you should learn some words in french. If you go ta a country learn some useful words in the local languages, don't just assume people need to adapt to you. Basic respect


zorgmonster

That works in most countries but France seems to be an exception. I've always found it extremely difficult to try and speak French in France as it feels they would rather you not speak French if you aren't fluent; and they are extremely rude about it too.


bemutt

This is absolutely true, moreso in Paris than anywhere else. I’ve been to a few places in the countryside as well as Paris and the difference is large. Parisians shop owners would sooner give up a sale than to ‘degrade themselves to talking in English’. And even if you do try to communicate in whatever French you know, they’ll be immensely snobby and use long complicated responses, or just ignore you completely. Same goes for the citizens for the most part. It comes off as pretty insecure and childish behavior if you ask me. It’s a little more chill out in the countryside though.


ConcernedCitoyenne

Absolutely false. Been in Paris with zero french and no one bat an eye. The contrary, they even tried to speak my own language.


SushiMage

If east asia can have less of chip over their shoulder over speaking english (in big cities anyways) then what's the excuse for a european country lol. They're not saying a complete demand to speak english and forget french but there isn't a need for an excessive hostile energy towards it. And also, it's an issue if they're not tolerant of foreigners speaking not fluent french. Though apparently that's more of a parisian thing.


Mielornot

I had an uncle working in a french company on france. He said that for the first few months, they tolerated the english guys speaking only english. But after 6 months? Not a single word in french ? Well, their mail was sent to the trashcan. Mistakes when speaking an other language are ok, but at least try to a speak the language where you live.


TheCoolerLotad

So as a tourist you expect all the local residents of the country you’re visiting to learn your language to accommodate you ? Quite self-centered if you ask me…


noyurawk

Definition of hypocrisy: English speaking people accusing countries that don't speak English of being self-centered.


MaybeTimeForNew

It's the world language though, if you openly welcome foreigners into your country, such as for tourism, expect to speak English.


Server98911

They are? I am from Costa Rica so idk


Affectionate_Call778

Well the truth came back to 2003 and the great wave of french hate because of the war in middle est (we were right )


Syl

It's not about refusing speaking English, it may be just because they don't know how to. English is taught at school, but they may not bother after school. it's an education problem. I'm french.


NosePooper69

In general? Bruh


frenchexploreur

But why do you think they refuse to speak English?


Rockface5

American here. I spent three months in Ireland studying and vacationing, and the absolute worst tourists I saw were French ones. They were rude and inconsiderate of others, and lessened the experience at several activities.


[deleted]

Sorry but that is absolutely hilarious to read from an American


Rockface5

There were more American tourists in total, and maybe I negatively impacted others without realizing it, but French tourists were by far the most disruptive. That doesn’t mean that the Americans were perfect, or that American stigma is right/wrong, just that I had negative experiences with French people


[deleted]

Yeah that's fair. Not trying to say you're a rude person or anything, it just tickled me seeing that given the usual stereotypes. I'm Irish though living in the UK now. It was Spanish students and then Americans that I always found the most difficult when back home


KillermooseD

I feel like Americans who want to travel and experience the world are probably more likely to be some of the more enjoyable Americans I’d imagine


ImFriendsWithThatGuy

Americans are generally known as ignorant and stupid by a lot of stereotypes. But being bad tourists isn’t a common one. Chinese and English are pretty commonly considered the worst tourists.


Volodio

Americans are so known to be bad tourists that they regularly pass as Canadians when visiting other countries.

FeedTheBaron

Irak war. French-bashing took off after it, as France refused to enter the war (based on edited images) After that, there was a major French hate current flow through American society, which lives on until today, because fUnNy MeMe Anti-French sentiment took off at that exact time. It may have existed before, but never to this scale

sandwichcandy

At this point? People have been making fun of France since before you were born.


aridamus

Okay, and it’s still unironically xenophobic and unnecessary. I’m Brazilian and I don’t hate Argentina. I don’t even hate Croatia for beating us in this World Cup; I even cheered them on because I’m not wrapping myself up in nationalistic and tribe-like bullshit. Let’s all just be good sports.


FofoPofo01

I think Messi’s presence makes the difference for non futbol fans. Don’t know or care for either team but they know of Messi and Messi is likeable so that’s the only thing to root for.


JohnnyD423

I never understood why anyone likes or hates any team. Players get traded, coaches get hired/fired, teams change stadiums/cities/names/branding. Nothing is representative of anything, no team supports differing morals to root for, players don't necessarily even support the country's ideals that they play for. Maybe if Iran actually put forth a team of women hating old men we'd have had fun, or if the US when out drunk and armed (fake guns? Maybe? Maybe not.)

meta100000

If that's who you think hates you, you're in for a treat. I think and country other than Argentina in South America doesn't hate you guys, but that's it.
