Hero Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) I'm being serious here, you could at least do the same. -_- Sometimes you have to go with your gut on whether the person you're talking to is being sarcastic. In this case, I think I made my sarcasm (or lack of it) fairly obvious. If you don't make assumptions about other peoples' meaning and end up wrong from time to time, you're missing half the fun of this board! :D Edited December 2, 2009 by Hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CassieCinders Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) French people- REAL French people- are infamously snobbish. That extends to those French-Canadian douches in Quebec. Marthur has shown this side of his personality on many occasions. Well, most people are like that. Call it patriotism, call it ignorance, call it whatever you want. I wouldn't say being a "real" French person is inherently bad though; it's always the person behind the accent. Also, Marthur is a man? That's a huge let down. You didn't know? The "Marthur is a girl"-rule exists for a reason Edited December 2, 2009 by L'aigle de Meaux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altera the Hun Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 As in it is literally a Frenchman. As in it was born and raised in France and lives in France to this day.If you broaden that to mean those of French descent, then that'd include me too, since my mom's side of the family is Scotch French-Canadian. I don't see the point in dismissing someone based on where they were raised. There are plenty of legitimate reasons you could dismiss her for. French people- REAL French people- are infamously snobbish. That extends to those French-Canadian douches in Quebec. Marthur has shown this side of his personality on many occasions. THAT is a prejudice. Sure there are French people like that, but Dutch people are just as bad, and there are enough Americans with the same problem. I know Americans who act that way about America. Thing is, I also know Quebec-Frenchmen, too, and trust me, they genuinely deserve the reputation. From what I've personally dealt with, French arrogance makes your typical New England snob look like the humblest guy around. Dunno about the Dutch, though. Although considering the way they treated America during the revolution, it wouldn't surprise me in the least. The French just have a worse reputation about it, I guess.

I wouldn't say being a "real" French person is inherently bad though; it's always the person behind the accent. It's not that they're just snobbish. They take snobbishness to an extreme. Ever been to Quebec? If you don't know French, you'll get nothing but abuse from about 90% of the people, and 9% will give you more than abuse. If France is anything like Quebec- and I've heard it's worse- I really don't ever want to go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically, America's current president may have the opposite problem. I think he's apologized to every country in the world by now- Several of which (Cuba, Venezuela, IRAN) do not deserve it.
