That's a valid statement. On the whole I also think Americans are clueless about the rest of the world. I've always said that a semester abroad should be mandatory for a H.S. diploma - or at minimum a college degree. This has nothing to do with the French looking down at us - they do. They also look down at anyone not French so we shouldn't take it so personal. Parisians look down at anyone not living in Paris - including their own "countrymen". Those are just the facts.
