To challenge your made-up statistic, I'd bet that isn't even true of Americans if they were offered a choice and a work permit for France.
- dmix 7y agoSure but I'm not talking about a vacation or retirement. But a choice to live your life in either. Just my own estimation, so take that FWIW Not trying to trash them or start a flamewar. The French people and government do have a reputation in the Anglo world, probably equally as much as the US does in Europe. The country-side and cities are very nice there no doubt.
- cc81 7y agoAs far as the reputation of them being rude I've heard it is more of a Paris thing (which I guess would translate to a New York thing) and not so much outside of Paris. I've not been there in many years but I had a very nice time, even in Paris, and I would love to go back. I'm not from the US so depending on the relations at the time it might be a different experience. I assume when they were trashed in US media for not joining the Iraq war I there were at least some resentment against US tourists.

And that does not seem to be an isolate event : I can read weekly horror stories in Hacker News about health bills in the U.S.
