Perhaps you enjoy it? Why the French flag??
Oh I didn't read your other post. The love-hate thing between Britain and France became a bit tricky lately with the ultra-aggressive stance on fishing rights. I think that the popularity of Britain and France is like a see-saw! At the moment, the French are unpopular, then it'll be the Germans and then us. We're fond of each other really! ![]()
Change flag and avatar to other countries, see if people are "racist" against the french race or they just A-holes and use the first best insult they can find.
That is strange, I can think about a couple of nationalities which some people may have problems with but french would never get on my list. In any case, report. Bad behavior should not be tolerated.
I believe that the French have had a reputation, deserved or not, in some circles for being snooty. A friend of mine is multilingual, English, Russian, French, and Latin. On a trip to France I guess her accent wasn't quite right and was told by someone to stop trying to speak French if she didn't know how to speak it properly. As far as I am concerned, comments of the nature Jalex reports on this web site are out of bounds. That's the problem with the internet, anonymity brings out the worst in a lot of people.
You should try changing the flag to the country you're from instead of trying to fool everybody and maybe karma will be kinder to you.
Surely, the flag is about one's, current, nationality and not some kind of ethnicity badge?! And the poster/spammer before proves that most post are not racism, just lazy trolling.

I’m not from France and I don’t speak French, but people continue to mention the French nation when trying to insult me. I’ve been called “French pig”, “Frenchie” and other such words.
