Americans look for any reason to get shitfaced. Ask anyone what Cinco de Mayo is about about. Most wont have any clue.
which, you'd think, hey France, we hate the french (which is hilarious considering the Statue of Liberty and La Fayette).... Mexicans beating the French should be easy to recall for us.
The whole French thing is so goddamn funny, from an outside perspective - I mean, France is basically one of the few major countries the USA never fought a land or proxy war against - their only war was the Quasi war which was solely smaller naval battles and was clearly the US fault. And France was almost always willing to back the US...while the US let them down countless times.
Have you never met an American? Look at it from the perspective of an inferiority complex and you may begin to understand.
