I never got why the United States bashes so much the french. I mean, if it wasn't for France the USA would never have gotten their independence.

Yes they did help the U.S with the Revolution, but only showed up about a year late.
I don't think you understand. If it weren't for the french, the united states would not have gotten their independence when they did. France didn't "help", they pretty much made it possible.
The only real war that the french down-right got their asses really kicked was WWII, but they got invaded without mercy by Germany, something which was completely unexpected and they did not have military genius like Hitler to back up their side when it happened.
Also, if it weren't for the French Revolution, it might be very possible we'd still have some countries in Europe as Absolutist Monarchies, and I'm not even gonna start on how the French Enlightenment (is the name right? I'm not sure how it is in English.) helped the colonies revolt against the metropolis. And even before that Louis XIV was one of the two greatest kings in western history(along side Henry XVIII), and he perfected his court in a way no one had seen before. He held all the power, and the nobles were too busy getting manipulated to try and get some of it.

What are your thoughts on "Patriotic Racism"?Patriotic racism is still racism.
Yes they did help the U.S with the Revolution, but only showed up about a year late.Considering they had no obligations to the Americans, the Americans should be grateful that the French helped them at all. The revolution would likely have failed without French support.
And this is where someone comes and goes "wtf u hav no sorces LoL"

It's not patriotism, or racism.
It's simply a dislike of the French, in our case.

What about Iran?

What about Afghanistan? Lots of things are wrong in the world, but North Korea should be the prime focus

But... if Iran makes nuclear weapons, there is a possibility that they will use it on Israel.
Laihendi isn't saying North Korea isn't important, but there are other major problems that could effect the entire world as well.
