They were forced to kneel?
Wow, was that it?
So what? Were they beaten were they humiliated, tortured or in some way brutalised?
I have absolutely nothing against these yellow vests protesting - I think we should all get up off our arses and protest against the scumbags who we allow to govern us, but that's another issue - but what really is wrong with this?
Snowflakes - I despair.

blinks - WTF does " french " actually look like ???????????????????
" french " is a citizenship - not an ethnicity
the basques demonstrate this best - they ARE an ethnicity - but 60% are spaniards , 40% french [ by citizenship ]
for any sort of french ethnicity - you has to trawl back to the gauls
PS - fun fact question how long ago did only 20% of the inhabitants of france actually speak french ?

I thought French people were fair skinned?
Not ancestry from the middle east or Africa?
Like the world cup, France wins, but half the team are not even frenchmen.
The lines may be blurred on paper, but people will always be know the truth

I'm sure you're violating the t&c s by asking all that ! If you read the earlier pages you'd see that they came here for an amusing argument , and that's what ensued .
The Life of Brian (seen it ?) was invoked , the scene where Brian wanted a false beard , and was happy to pay 20 dinari , but the seller was more interested in him haggling the price down .
Sometimes the interaction is more entertaining than just taking the money , and this being a discussion forum ... etc .
Does that post make a bit more sense now ? I tried to argue the French case for outrage re op , and pretty much failed .
The thread started with straight reporting that 3 outlets at least had made note of occurrences at the school . I only engaged (the thugs!) for communal amusement's sake . So you are wrong , yes . This is an anonymous site of course , so I can;t see the point in being invested in filling out some persona for it : many do , but that's up to them .
Do bring a link (if you have any) and have a nice day

Hi mate, have to disagree here in that i think the protestors are playing a blinder by kneeling.

Black people have been present in France for over 2'000 years. North Africans for just as long. The Franks are a Germanic tribe. The basque region, whilst Christian, has a strong Muslim influence.
In short, Europe is confusing!

Well put. But if you go around the specifics.
Most know where their ancestry come from.
But to call some of frances soccer team french is just wrong. .
Imported refugees from Africa win them that world cup.
