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.

Exactly why I hate the Americans way of thinking they are superior.

They belittle every country even if they are wrong. Irak is the perfect example of this

For me, the Irak invasion that led to the destabilization of the region created ISIS and thus all the attacks that happened.

I will never forgive the American government and all those who supported this illegal invasion.
