re: Hey, Louisiana: France Sucks!

Where's all the french hate coming from. I doubt not one of you yay hoos knows a french person.

Arrogant, rude, inconsiderate, always play the victim and some of them smell. Cajuns are definitely their descendants.

So much ignorance in this quote. I have spent several weeks each summer in France over the last 5 years. Contrary to your assertions, the French actually are very friendly, polite, and accommodating. My experience is that most people who find them otherwise do so because of their own ignorance, rudeness, or inappropriate actions. Lack of effort to understand and appreciate French customs and expectations of polite behavior are often at the root of bad experiences. Even Paris, which once had a reputation for rudeness, much like New York, has seen substantial changes.

As for your ignorance about Cajuns, there are no friendlier, more genuine people in the United States. I am from North Louisiana originally, and not Cajun, but have spent considerable time in South Louisiana. Anyone who thinks Cajuns are rude or arrogant is just willfully blind and foolish.

I have traveled extensively around the world. I find France to be one of the most beautiful countries I have been to. The diversity of its geography, climates, architecture, food, history, etc., make it an outstanding place to visit. Anyone who thinks it sucks, frankly, is not very perceptive.
