    As an American, still kinda funny. Not sure why we tease the French, they helped us with our revolution and gave us a great deal on a huge chunk of land, but here we are.

        Maybe? I was also against the Iraq War, but I was young-ish at the time and don’t remember if we teased the French before then as well. It was never serious though, like the rivalry between England/UK and France.

      We do it because most of us know jack shit about European history and had teachers who had us skip huge portions of our US history books.
