When the French hate America, it's because they are "enlightened."

When Americans hate the French it's "racist."

Not so much a race as a subspecies.

The race reference was probably about 'Arab Muslims' who are slowly taking over France.

I caught that little jewell also.
Screw the Frogs. My family has had no love for the "Mother Country since the mid 17th century when they left due to the Huguenot persecution. Howsome ever that persecution did get us here, so I guess maybe something good did come out of another little shameful episode in Frog history.
