Many French people are proud of their own language, that's true, but I don't believe they hate English language, actually I'm sure 100% they wish they could speak it fluently. but as most of them (in France) are not confident with their speaking ability they prefer not uttering a single word even if they do have elementary skills, they're very proud and are too afraid to sound ridiculous. But we learn only by making mistakes.. Personally i believe that some English speakers tend to be even less open minded than others as they expect everyone to learn English but scarcely make an effort to learn foreign languages, the minimum you could do when living in any country would be to learn the local language ;-)
