Germans

Dein bundesvolk. Ich liebe nicht dem Deutschlanders.

I know I'm mangling the language, because I never really learned it, but deep in my bones, I hate the Germans. So the ranking now is Germans, the Japanese, and the French as a close third.

The Italians really haven't annoyed me as yet. In fact, I quite like them, even though they were turncoats in the Second World War. I mean, Mussolini? How about tagliolini? I don't know quite what it is about Italians . . . a general pleasantness that is the complete opposite of the French, a suspicious bunch who are likely to turn traitor as a wolverine with a buddy mouse.

I used to denigrate the Québecois because of their ridiculous accent, but I found out from my months in France that the French are more ridiculous. The posturing, the elitist attitude. Québecois are much more friendly, personable and generally nice.

So here's the score: Québecois win, hands-down; Germans are at the top of the hate list, followed very closely by the Japanese, and the Parisians gaining ground.

I'll update you as the race goes on.
