Im just fine people but its people like you that perpetuate a particular attitude that sets you up for dislike - arrogance, condescension and hypocracy. First of all you were silly to get worked up by some dufus' dumb comment...but then you had to stoop to his level of "insignificance" by insulting him...and then you claim to want "Peace." What kind of an example are you setting here???
As for a little bit of "...but she's French" well, just relax and think of it as a way for Americans, people who have vitriolic sentiment coming at them continually, to humorously blow off a little steam at an easy target. Whether one believes that sentiment is deserved or not, those who do nothing but express their Anti/Un-American hate certainly cant take the moral high ground, for what can that hate possibly serve? No matter what America/ns does/do it's either too little, too much or not the right way. And its so easy for others to sit on the sidelines spewing forth distainful and damaging commentary. And for those of you who live here in America and are, yes, Un-American...take your self-hate somewhere.
The word you're looking for here is hypocrisy. But that was close, like your argument.
I would suggest a stronger grasp of the word.
