I have nothing to contribute to this discussion in terms of actual foreign relations and politics, but I don't think there are many people over here who genuinely hate France (for valid reasons, anyway). I occasionally hear that the French are snobs, but a lot of people also say that Americans are ignorant and slobby, which is not true of many of us. I think a lot of people here base their opinions of other countries on what they see in movies and on TV.

Na, everybody "hates" France, I say this in a humorous way. It is all about stereotypes. French are rude, spanish are lazy, italians are loud, germans are square heads...
All of the above are exagerations, based in a tiny percentage of true facts. This reminds me the funny maps thing Europe according to Americans for example

oh I know that map... I'll never get it why Germany is "Dirty Porn" or I'm simply watching the wrong movies...
about stereotypes.. I always thought Germans are the rude people, not the French? someone has to explain "square head" to me or better the meaning here... I'm googling it but I get several different meanings (oddly enough they all kinda match...) sorry for offtopic

When you bring up Germany Dirty Porn, the funny one is Commies, the going joke is that Russian woman found their calling in doing porn.

Here we say "square heads" as people with discipline, with a mindset very focused in working, almost like machines or robots. Not a really bad thing, and certainly not rude, at least the ones who spend holidays in spain!

ah ok thanks for explaining. so it's not that bad at all. Thing is - in Germany the word "square head" exists too but it's more used for someone who's very stubborn.
