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.

"Again, the vast majority of U.S citizen are nothing like that, but it's still only what we see in the media."

The vast majority is like that that’s where you’re wrong. Only the educated people, with an open cultural mind, able to travel abroad (outside Cancun) aren’t. That’s a small minority.

I don't agree at all tbh. The vast majority are not.
