People who live in France, the Netherlands, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and many other countries are unlikely to complain because they also have the same colors on their flag.

I suspect that the color choice of the US flag was inspired by the French flag, but according to the history sites I've checked it seems that the origin of the design was lost.
