I'll second that, I've worked with French folks and they're quite OK, just like all people everywhere normally are.
OTOH, I also know a Frenchman who lives in the U.S. and hates all things American, but then again he's nondiscriminatory and hates everything else too.
I hate the official French, the politics, the voices of their "cultural elite," both present and in the various past incarnations, yet I have liked and indeed been very fond of plenty of French people. I have lived in France for a year and surrounded by France for two more (In Geneva). It's OK to bash the French policies and all, but you would certainly all find friends among the French people. I will guarantee it.
One of the open-eyed surprises for me when I was there was how welcoming and open they were to strangers. How many times we foreigners were taken in to homey family lunches, with wine and aperitifs, among poor country people who simply enjoyed having new people to dine with and talk with. I enjoyed their hospitality so much. In fact, the nicest people I met were the ones who had the least. They shared every bit of what they did have and we all had a great time. Many lunches were nothing more than spaghetti and bread and soup and yet they were delicious because of the relaxed, friendly setting.
It was different with the snobs in the city and at the university. I took one class from a Communiste who hated Americains. That was an experience. But I could have found the same at any of our prominent universities, too, come to think of it...
