The French


  

I chose the French. They hate Americans, the women don’t shave, and they love baguettes, wine, and cheese.

First of all most of the French don’t hate Americans. Most Americans who go to France go only to Paris similar to NYC representing America. Secondly, in every town and city throughout the entire country there is a WWI and WWII memorial to honor the Americans and they sacrifices they made. Sure during the Bush administration many French weren’t happy with Americans but there were also French conservative political parties that supported Bush.
 The funniest one to me is the French Women not shaving, it couldn’t be farther from the truth. The women there usually pride themselves in being clean and especially smelling clean.

They do however love cheese, baguettes, and wine. That may not be a bad single story though. Per capita they eat more cheese than any other country. Bread has been a staple in most homes around the world so; you might as well have fresh bread. The idea of wine doesn’t bother me either in the sense that it is sourced from their country and the vineyards make for beautiful countryside.


The French are much more than a single story, history proves it.

  1. When I think France, I think Eiffel Tower, funny accent, and french kissing. I don't think that's a fair stereotype at all (except for Eiffel Tower). Thanks for the post.
