Just a few days ago we have American bashing content and a huge ********* of pissed off Americans. Now we have French bashing content and either no French people to defend themselves or they actually don't care.

Not trying to insult anyone, just trying to point out my observation of a possible double standard.

How is that a double standard? It's more like a different point of view and "care" level of people from 2 freaking different countries.

Maye it's because Americans are like 80% of this site, but French are a very small minoity on FJ ....

Even Finns and Danish are more present on FJ than French ...

As an American, I can say that so many other Americans are over-zealous about our country. I believe that it stems from the propaganda presented to our grandparents during the world wars. I think that them being taught to be so over-zealous then carried on to their children and so on until our generation. I am going to guess that it will die off in the next 50 years.
I don't see why people get so upset over a joke about their country.

True you can still be proud of your country no matter what the flaws though but being too proud is a problem.
