'I don't want to be French' meme spurs French teasing and anger

This week, someone transformed a line from the 2009 Lady Gag hit, "Bad Romance," from "I don't want to be friends" to "I don't want to be French." And then they set it free on TIkTok. Millions of mostly Europeans have copied the meme, with videos poking fun at the French, many of whom have not found it amusing. Their own, pro-France memes have now gone viral too.
