Comment on Not the worst offender

So you speak some French. They are friendlier to French speaking people or French car owners, but only a tiny bit. Ever sat at a table full of French people? They will just act like you’re not even there. Or worse, act angry because another French person could have sat on your chair. Especially in rural areas the French are assholes. They even make fun of foreigners right in your face because they believe you don’t understand what they are saying (but my French is good enough to understand that).
No. And I respect that the perspective from (former) colonies can be quite negative.
They treat them like slaves. I’ve seen them hit locals, pay them much less than minimum wage, I’ve seen entire parts of cities where locals weren’t allowed because they are black, put children to work with chemicals without protection. I’ve seen this in Djibouti, Seychelles and Madagascar.
No, not ever. I have heard tourists speaking french here and there, but no notable occurrences.
Most French tourists here in NL are assholes. French tourists in French (former) colonies are massive assholes (except towards other French people). I just got back from holiday in Cambodia, many French tourists I’ve seen were assholes too (not all).
I’m not.
Omelette du fromage.
I’ve had to work with the French when I was in the navy. Those people were extremily rude. They feel like they are better then the rest, so superior they can treat others like peasant scum.
One of my cousins speaks fluently English, unless there are other French people around. He’s ashamed for knowing English so he just makes fun of you and treats you like shit in front of others but changes to being kind when you’re alone with him. Another cousin knows many languages, he works in a 5 star hotel in Paris. But he’s gay, so he’s treated like shit as well. He can’t be openly gay because he gets beaten too often. So the kind and social French are being bullied by the rest, which makes the French in general assholes.
Sure, not every French person is an asshole, just the vast majority.
