The reality of France is that it's full of Arabs, Africans and other generally 'non-French' or 'non-10th Generation' French people. French went from being a 'breed' like any other nationality. To simply being a word on a person's passport. This was mainly due to people exploiting how easy it is to gain French citizenship. Hence why most French feel vindictive towards outsiders and those who do not speak French in general. France is no longer France. It's basically the Australia of Europe.

[cedricvillain]

Didn't know it was so easy to gain french nationality. You should try completing the forms. You seem so aware of the sociologic perspective of my country but do not forget that nations evolve, like other things. Sorry it don't fit anymore in your simpliest postcard view. You should adopt a couple of what you consider as "real french" and try to run a farm.

[Leijonasisu]

Though really, I praise you for trying to dissolve a lot of cultural awkwardness and social stereotypes. You've done a wonderful thing here. I just think that all countries and races should stay pure. No matter who you are or where you are from, you are what your blood truly is. Citizenship should be enough for anyone, and no one no matter what should hate where they are from and wish to be identified as something they are not. Live French, breathe French but stay true to your blood.

[cedricvillain]

I don't believe my eyes.. there are still people in the XXIst century believing in such craps as "blood", "race" or "purity" ? You really should go back to school you have some biology to learn. The only blood questions are blood type, mine is A+ if you want to know, as many humans I share this with. I don't want to be rude but frankly you should think a bit more before writing such comments... And don't pray neither, like many other french, I don't believe in any god.

[Leijonasisu]

Ugh you're either a 1st generation 'Frenchmen' or a 10th Generation idiot.

[cedricvillain]

maybe both...

[SearchingMyMind]

Actually I found it very funny. I'm French and I see no reason to get mad because of this video. A stereotype isn't supposed to reflect the reality, this is rather a way to make fun about someone, a group of people or even a whole population. If someone really thinks all that is true, then it's his problem, there are narrow-minded people everywhere. We should just remember that there are clichés on almost every country so to all haters stop being such pussies, it's supposed to be FUUUUUN!

[PixelatedMaestro]

I disagree with Leijonasisu's point- but do you not see the irony in 'I find that very offensive, go kill yourself you stupid cunt'?

[Jean Henri]

On sent que l'accent a été travaillé !

[Zoé G.]

J'ai montré cette vidéo à ma correspondante américaine, elle a beaucoup ris ^^

[maxk899]

I was born French and American. I lived for 6 years in the USA (and have visited many more times) and for 11 years in France. Are you suggesting I should choose one or the other?

[13simiane]

Hahahahahaha!!!!!



[RovexHD]

Besides being absolutely mad, getting a french passport used to be quite easy. At least, much easier compared with British. Which is odd, given the recent nationalism et all.

[RovexHD]

Mind you, facism in france has become soo apparent it's almost frighting. secularism or 'laicite', just too god damn horrible to target muslims for electoral gains.

[RovexHD]

3:20 wow j'ai vu ce discours de sarkozy a dakar en 2007. Quel mepris que de parler comme si les africains n'ont rien dans la tete...
