I'm italian and in my opinion the "french bashing" is a stupid and racist
thing. There's no much reasons to hate USA but tv shows like Bill O'reilly's

don't follow them in their unjustified stupid hate campaign.


France is not a "race" so French bashing is not racist. France has
chosen (as is their right) to take positions that most people in the
US feel are stupid and counter-productive. Expressing disgust with the
policies of the French Government is simply an exercise of free
speech.
