Hating the French is not racism, since "French" is a nationality, not a race. There's a difference. That being said, yes I (and most Americans) do harshly criticize the French. We're hardly in the minority of people (especially in the western world) that criticize others (I'm reminded of the "How can 40 million people be so dumb" quote from the UK newspaper after Bush was reelected).
