Yeah, the US was so anti French they let the French put a massive fucking statue up in New York in gratitude for France's help in forming the country.

You are an idiot. Up until Bush the French might have been snobs, but at least people didn't insult their courage given how the French Resistance basically risked being tortured to death to make D-Day happen and French civilians put their own lives at risk time and again to get allied POWs and downed Airmen back home safe. Those jokes are an insult to brave allies, and disrespectful to the US, Allied, and French Resistance soldiers who all lost their lives. The US populace could only have hoped to have been a quarter as brave as France's if the tables had been turned.

Anti-French jokes was what mekkio said. Not an anti-French sentiment.

And do you have similar sentiments about the French cracking jokes about Americans, despite many Americans dying to liberate a country not their own? Don't play the 'who owes what' game.

You're right that the US is not anti-French; in the War France sided with the Americans, albeit for political reasons.

There are, however, historical issues, since a major part of the States used to be a French colony (that is, until Napoleon sold it to Brits). Besides, the British king wanted to give a huge amount of lands to the Natives, which was a part of the reason for the colonists' dissatisfaction with his policy.

Sorry, what? where is this coming from?

Also, those jokes are stupid because (1) they're historically completely unfounded and (2) are completely thoughtless, mean-spirited cliches which (3) are blatantly the result of a jingoistic, imperial, idiotic worldview in (4) the support of a war that was patently not in the best interest of the country. I don't think you need to bring in the French Resistance to point out that there's literally no truth behind the mindset and it's small-minded and vicious in the extreme.
