The French Can Be So Hateful....

The hateful mistreatment of the purely innocent children of German soldiers in France is documented in a new book, Enfants maudits, by Jean-Paul Picaper and Ludwig Norz. How nasty and cruel the French can be. Just like all the rest of us.

and this is new to you?
How about the way foreign kids are treated in French schools in general?

Sorry. I was trying to be ironic, and that generally doesn't translate well. I am aware that people in France can be remarkably hateful, despite the fact that the left-of-center intelligentsia in America think that the French are simply perfect. But then, hatefulness can be found virtually everywhere; no one has a monopoly on it.
