That being said, French people are very racist. And, for the most part, they hate English people. I could go as far to say that they hate each other, too. |
Nah, it is offensive. Those who don't realize it is are racist or ignorant.
Oh, and your comments about the French hating the English... you might want to stop for one minute and think about what that means about your own attitudes. |
Ho hum. I lived in Quebec. |
Right, as if that's a get out of prison card. In any case, so did I...still doesn't make me 'un Quebecois pure laine' (without a doubt the dumbest expression in French), now does it?

Ha! Never saw it spelled before. Was wondering if it was 'wet' or 'wit' and 'ouette' didn't even occur to me.
And 'tabar' not 'taber'.  I'm losing it. |

Dude...what he said in French has a completely different meaning.....the straight translation can be slanted eyes which is a slur but in French "les yeux brides" is not considered a slur....but...that happens a lot with the media.
As for the politician...he should not have said that anyway. He also has a less than pristine past. |

I would not call Andre Boisclair an openly racist partisan. He is not. Is he perfect? Was that a poor choice of words? I think it was somewhat offensive, but I don't think people should jump on the guy too much and overplay it. Give me a break about French Quebecois. There is this one guy here in Korea from Ontario who keeps saying really racist stuff about French Canadians, and it annoys me that none of his friends correct him or call him on it. That tells you plenty anglophones are pretty darn racist as well. |

Perhaps I exaggerated. It's just that they're not overly fond of us. And they're not overly fond of each other. So much back stabbing. |

Boisclaire isn't known to have the best judgment anyway. What kind of guy shoots coke or whatever while he's holding public office?
Ok, maybe an honest one if he admits it... |

Actually, you spelled it pretty close to how a Montrealer would say it. |
