Hello Бяфѕеf :)
J'avas commencé à écrire en français, mais finalement...
I'm sorry you have this impression... But don't worry, french like american just like american like french: some of them dislike the other ones (it existes in both senses ;) ) and they ruminate their sourness about some stupid caricature), so we renember them specificly because we don't understand to be judged not for what you are but for what you represent, it's bizarre and unpleasant, but it's insane to focus on them. About that I think it's better to focus on open mind people, and fortunately thet are a lot, because others are insane, and internet is full of insane people also.
But it's true there are also those who just kind of make "joke" (not really that but what the word for "boutade"?) without really thinking it, maybe a Versaille tradition I don't know, when to be remarked and accepted in the parisian court of Versaille, people had to make witty remarks (translation of "mots d'esprit"?), just a (stupid) theory (look at movie "Ridicule" and you'll understand what is Versaille spirit)... this is maybe an example of wthat a boutade is, because I don't really think that it's really the right explanation, but it's just an (very personnal) explanation who could have been right if you make a little and volunteer exgaration! actually in fact I rather think it's universal... there is some firendly "rivalry" between some countries, maybe included United states and France, so never be "parano" about that, becaus I also think the opposite is true: thse two countries are friends, not only by history, but also because a lot of french also like american and want to visit New York, Calofornia, etc...
But of course Paris also has that reputation (included in all France) to be a city with pessurised people, pressed, stressed, lots of people in little space, anonymous in their "bubble" (an expression), often they're told indifferents, but when you finally have a good contact in that mess, you at least appreciate it, and fortunately it happens :). It's sure Paris has its good and bad sides, it's clear.
For my personal case, i love tourists, because they are enthousisatic and they come juste to have good time. But i'm just sorry to those i tell a wrong route, i sometimes mistake (unvoluntary) in my explanations (bad orientation), sorry for all tourists i make lost!!!
good evening
