For me it's not so much the French I dislike, but Parisians. Because the Parisians shower infrequently, the women have hairy armpits, they have a history of surrendering their country and being ingrateful when their bacon is saved by the United States, they are arrogant and rude pricks who think their shit doesn't stink (though there's a lot of that in the Red States of America), they want our tourist dollars but treat us like we're a nuisance, etc.
That being said, they often have to deal with ignorant and "ugly" Americans who don't learn any French language or culture and who go to France and expect everyone else to accomodate them and adjust to American culture. They, like most of the rest of the world, see America like a baby holding a .44 magnum. America is a much newer country, doesn't respect the sovereignty of traditions of other nations, tries to bully every other nation on earth by pointing that big gun at them, etc.
