Salut! Ca va? hahahaha....no Americans don't hate you! And if you run into rude people it's NOT you, it's that they are rude to everyone and are just ignorant. No, it's kind of like, people were making up this big riff between the two countries, but in reality most Americans (I believe) judge people one at time. Actually, most people that I know find the French extremely charming and sexy... just by virtue of the lovely accent and great manners you guys have. Anyway, please don't worry. Americia will love you....just be yourself and if you get too worried, just say you are from Canada (how about Montreal?...lol). Have a great time!! *big hug from an American who loves the French* |

Don't worry. Not all Americans are rude and insulting. That's just a stupid stereotype that the rest of the world has given us just because they don't like our govt. You'l be fine. |

I wouldnt say we hate the French, just not very happy with their current political position. Keep your conversations away from politics and religion and you'll be fine. Of course thats good advice to anyone, not just Frenchmen. |

People all over the world have negative feelings about the rude, pompous French, not just Americans. Right now, though, we hate the politics of your country more so than we hate your people. If you come here and are polite and friendly and bathe i think you will find a warm welcome. besides LA tends to be a liberal city and they will definitely be less critical of the French. If you are in LA, New York or Washington DC you will be surrounded by liberals who thik like the French. |

We don't hate French people. We hate how you complain about America... all the time. If you are nice and friendly when you come here I really don;t think you will have a problem. |

I'm from Florida, not LA. But you wouldn't have any trouble where I am at. I live in a friendly area and there are many people who make up the population of America who love to meet new people. Especially from other countries. there are some people who are hard on foreigners, but it's not like the whole of America is on you. Just be nice and polite and they should just treat you as a person, even if they are angry with Frenchmen. |

I don't think we hate you, but from what I heard
we hate the way MOST French people treat us.
The way SOME of them are rude to us if we don't
speak french properly & act the way they would
like us to. Just be kind to us & we will be kind to you
(most of us anyway)
stay safe & have fun in LA |

I'm filipino-american married to a french man. We live in New Jersey about an hour and a half from New York City. There are a lot of french people in NJ/NYC! There's also a lot of french people in California as well! Instead of going to Los Angeles, you can travel to San Francisco because there's a lot of french there too! Alot of american women love the french! So there shouldn't be a problem. You won't get insulted by someone, unless you insult them first, this goes for all cultures! Don't be paranoid! You'll be fine. |

No the problem I have found with americans is on forums such as this they run away with their mouths and when you meet them they suck up to you so badly it is embarrassing. I don't hate the French I find you all amusing. |

There is some notion that Americans hate the French, what nonsense. Go, have a great time, try some of that wonderful language on LA women, they love it. There is rudeness everywhere in the world, don't buy into that hate-the-French stuff, its just the media nuts who perpetuate it. Bon chance. |

Funny I'm going to France in a week and a half.... and I'm afraid the French hate Americans... Luckily I look Latin and speak Spanish so don't plan in asking direction in English But I am taking French classes but only have learned simple words. But No... don't think the majority of Americans hate the French it just happens to be that the Vocal haters tend to be heard... Do the French Hate Americans? |
