Parisians are SO awful. I studied abroad there for a year and was shocked to find that many of them (especially women my age -- and I'm a woman) were nastier than New Yorkers. All the French friends I made were a) not native Parisians and b) mostly male. But I spent Spring Break in the South of France and most people there were supremely kind and tolerated my accented French.

This is a myth, just as it's a myth that New Yorkers are rude horrible people who will yell at you in the street.
I'd argue that there is a surprisingly homogeneous distribution of horrible people throughout the big cities of the world.
