French bashing at the grocery checkout.
Advertisements [?]
So I'm standing in line waiting to pay for my groceries and the bag boy and the customer that was in front of me started to tell French jokes and basically ridicule the French as Cowards.

So when I get up to pay, I told the bag boy that we'd have most likely lost the Revolutionary War if not for the French. He said, he knew that and tried to counter his stupid comments by stating that he was 25 percent French. I replied, then what the hell are you dissing 25 percent of yourself?

I also told him that that French coward humor may have been funny between him and that customer but for those in ears distance, it can be quite offensive. I then looked at this young oh 19 year old kid and asked him the killer question--- so when ya gonna enlist? He didn't say another word.....

I know he was just a dumb kid who's infected with American Exceptionalism...but I'm getting sick of this shit--- and from on--- I'm going to speak up.
