I hate the "Franch", and they're Europeans, just like me. Helped us in the beginning, then we bailed them out twice with der Deutsch and continued on their folly in SE Asia. I would not call them a race.

Then they wouldn't allow us to overfly their country, and their women have hairy armpits.

The only thing redeeming about the "Franch" is that they sunk the Rainbow Warrior in 1985.

If I were held prisoner and tortured for 5.5 years by a certain nationality, I might just have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about that. If the Chinese recognize that sentiment, it might certainly keep them in line. I personally have nothing against our Pacific Rim neighbors.
