To be honest the same could be said of Germany and indeed the entire world...
Actually your post probably illustrates the biggest thing - many people dislike the French simply because it is so ingrained in popular American culture now whether or not they really believe or agree with everything.
Its like whether or not you know anything about WW2, it seems most everyone has heard that "we saved France's ass in WW1 and WW2," which is easily a big debatable topic.
But they're such common beliefs and thoughts now that valid or not, they're accepted and its a usually a mutual dislike which is funny because in the end, as long as your money is good, who cares
