I won't downvote but I will say that I personally don't think unfounded discriminating/stereotyping against nationalities or continents is desirable in a vegan community
You are right 100% unfounded discrimination is not acceptable. Unfortunately for the Fr×nch, there are hundreds of years of documented history confirming that the discrimination against the Fr×nch is entirely warranted in 99 cases out of 100.
Care to enlighten me a bit? One thing I like about the French is that they're usually quite willing to take to the streets for social revolution. When anti-Black racism was really prevalent in the US in the 20th century (eg, 1960s), Black people were treated much better in France than the US as far as I understand it. France a history of inhumane colonization, like many of the other big players in Europe. That's my dossier on France at the moment (I guess I'd add that modern English borrowed many cool words from the French language too)
Generally I wouldn't go around hate mongering, but the fr×nch deserve worse. Start off with the fact that I'm a native American man with a French last name. There is an entire genocide in that statement, but for the fr×nch, it is but one of many. Besides the rampant colonization, which you have noted, the most distinguishing characteristic of a true fr×nchperson is the ability to care only about Fr×nce, its "culture", and anyone else they deem sufficiently fr×nch. Take note of the current and MASSIVE antimuslim attitude in Fr×nce right now. Idk if that's some hard right Vichy leftover, but the whole Vichy government is an issue of its own. Take your pick but it's a shit show all the way down.
I appreciate you sharing, thank you
Why are you talking about things you don't know? Come to France and you'll see. Where do we only care about French?
There are far rights neo Nazis as in every other country but we dunk on them
We have massive protests against Israel. Students occupy their universities to protest as well
You may have only seen some part shared by the media, not the whole story of current French people. We are not our fashist government
Btw I don't like France or French people in general, but I gotta attest for the presence of good people here
If I ever come to Fr×nce it will be to burn their women and rape their churches as they did to my people hundreds of years ago. That you elected your own fascists into power only confirms my condemnation.
