Which reminds me of a story I read, about a grandson looking for his grandfather’s grave in rural France. Grandpa crashed and died in his fighter plane while defending this French town from Nazi fighter pilots.

He tracked down his grandpa’s resting place, and found that the people of this small French town still kept his grave stone clean, and still left flowers and other items to honor him.

The idea that “The French hate Americans”, or that “Americans hate the French” are media driven memes.

There is no question that there are ignorant haters on either side, but the overall gist of either meme is nothing more than bigoted broad brushing.
