I’ve been wondering all week how to explain to allegedly “well travelled” white Americans who make ignorant/racist comments about the French soccer team the difference between :
1. Your cultural/ linguistic identity
2. Your country of citizenship
3. Your ethnicity
No matter what the 20% of French extreme right voters say, after two centuries of constant migrations and of colonial history, “French” is a cultural identity more than anything else.
I am 50% north-African Hispanic, 25% Slovenian and 25% Polish and I am 100% French, linguistically, culturally and as a citizen.
So are all the girls on the French soccer team.
Allez les bleues!!!!
