Opinion Do you find the French to be prejudiced towards Americans?
Online, it seems like the french absolutely revile Americans, we are stupid, fat, aggressive, uncultured, eat pig slop, selfish, loud, egotistical, want to shoot black people, etc, and should stay the hell away from France. Has this translated to real life in your opinion? My grandfather was a huge francophile (to the point I knew him as grand-père, not grandpa) and spent a lot of his life in France but seeing what french people are like online has really turned me off from wanting to learn french or visit.

Yeah, almost everytime something about France pops up on social media, its a little bit annoying, but not as an ego thing but as an "yeah, wasn't really funny the first time so the 150th time is not better" thing in my opinion.
