Francophobes
They despise France
Francophobes are people who dislike or fear France, French culture, or French people.
The term combines Franco- (referring to France) with -phobe (one who fears or hates).
Francophobia may manifest as hostility toward French cuisine, language, politics, or perceived cultural attitudes.
The Francophobes in Congress wanted to rename French fries "freedom fries." The sentiment often flares during political disagreements between France and other nations.
