To all the people complaining about her saying she does not cherish her black roots by refering to herself as white, calm down, she does not deny her roots, she just talking about her skin color. Every country think of races differently, and in France we differenciate skin color and actual roots. That's why instead of saying :"im black"; peoples in the same case as her (mixed with white skin) would prefer to say: "im white with african/black ancestors", and that doesn't mean we deny or doesn't love our roots. Its not a conspiracy for erasing black culture, actually it works in both way. A black dark skin person will not bring up the origins of distant (european or asian) ancestors. Like her , they will first refer to themselfs by their skin color. And French people are not alone thinking this way, in black countries most of people would also think of her as white. In fact it’s seem to be more of an US thing to labelize anyone "black" as long as they have one black ancestor.
I’m from the US I have never had a problem with rude people in France, I have been 3x at least a week each time. You must try to speak a little French, at least hello, goodbye, thank you, I’m sorry. I’m pretty nice, but also we must realize in their culture some of the things we think are rude they do not. I think a lot of Americans don’t try to speak French at all, they all thought I was from Australia and were surprised I was American, I think because I spoke a little French and was patient.
As I explained in the original video, the scene is filmed on a Sunday in a provincial restaurant. Apparently, the waitress is an “extra” (we feel she is not used to doing this job), and the cook must have been alone in the kitchen, which explains the waitress's mistakes and the long dish wait.
I always found in France it best to say, "hello'", then tell them my name and that I was from Australia. Once they knew I from Australia (not from England or USA) the French were always very nice and friendly towards me.
@@autumnphillips151 No, we don't hate english people or if you come from usa, we love them. Starting by presenting yourself is just a way to make yourself more pleasant, someone with who we want to talk, and you are showing you are making an effort to interact. Here in France lot of people are not enough fluent in english so that can make them nervous to interact. Bad pronounciation for example. You can say random thing if you want like "it's so beautiful here", "there are a lot of people", "the food was good" etc. The server will (normally) smile and reply to you. Of course it's better if you try to say it in french.
Rachel a tellement raison lol J ai grandi dans un quartier multiculturel, en Ile de France, et cela m a toujours semblé normal de m adapter à d autres cultures, et c est tellement enrichissant ! Maintenant, je vis dans le Sud et je ne retrouve pas la même diversité. Mes enfants sont métis et pffff le nombre de questions auxquelles j ai du répondre quand ils étaient petits et ados 🙄 du coup je ne contredisais pas quand on me prenait pour la nourrice, mais eux répondaient très bien 😂 C'est la France ! Comme partout, vous pouvez tomber sur des personnes désagréables ou très accueillantes 😊😉 Et personnellement, à la place du touriste, je serai partie !!!!!
Oui, j'ai vécu dans plusieurs pays et ça n'est pas pire en France qu'ailleurs. Ca me semble normal que les gens posent des questions, tant qu'ils restent polis et bien intentionnés. Je n'ai jamais eu de problème avec les gens étant curieux sur mes origines. Je le suis aussi à propos des autres.
Je suis née dans le sud et j'habite toujours dans le sud et les gens sont toujours accueillants envers les étrangers mais bon après c'est du cas par cas.
Comme je l'ai expliqué sous la vidéo originale, la scène est tournée un dimanche dans un restaurant de province. Apparemment, la serveuse est une "extra" (on sent qu'elle n'est pas habituée à faire ce travail) et le cuisinier devait sûrement être seul en cuisine. Ce qui explique les erreurs de la serveuse et l'attente un peu longue pour les plats. Et, comme on est en province et pas dans une grande ville, la caméra omniprésente n'aide vraiment pas. Surtout avec une serveuse inexpérimentée, elle est complètement troublée, ça se voit. D'autant qu'en plus, au départ, elle ne connait pas le niveau de français de ses interlocuteurs et se demande certainement comment elle va s'en sortir.
Hoesung, you lived in the states and know about tipping, which creates good service. A good friend of mine visited France and said the restaurants had the rudest staff of any country he had been to and in general he found the people rude. On the flip side, we had a high school student from Lyon France live with us for two summers and he was like family. My two high school children went to France and stayed with his family for three weeks and loved it. My daughter was not feeling well when they arrived and the Doctor came to their house to treat her which was so nice. I have heard many Americans say they wouldn't go back to France to tour. BTW my daughter majored in French and German and teaches both.
Tipping culture isn’t a thing in france because unlike the US the waiter’s salary is fixed and doesn’t come from tips of clients. I think also the reason why Americans think french people are rude is because we don’t make small talk just for the sake of it. We like to be straightforward so communication is easier.
@@SoSodawgindahouse Is not about france... in EU barely any country take tip, because usually its always in the price same with deliveries, Also a few places have it banned over here!
French speaking Canadians are the same. Living in a bilingual community results in many funny moments. I love it when people speak French around me and are then surprised when I answer them in English. I might not be fluent in our second official language but I understand a fair amount.
2:01 Si ta mère est métisse, tu l'es aussi, ses origines sont aussi les tiennes. Les métissage ce n'est pas une question de couleur de peau, mais d'origines, c'est géographique et génétique. Un métis est une personne dont les parents on des origines différentes, leurs ancêtres qui viennent d'autres pays que celui d'où les parents sont nés.
Honestly I don’t get what’s wrong here. I mean I’m French it’s true that we’re quite honest here. I totally agree on the time you wait, like if waited 25 min you should know what you wanna eat 😂
Her mother is. So that would make her 1/4 black. And what i noticed with mixed raced children who are part white with blk mothers, the child tends to be really light skinned. So it would make since that she (the girl in the video) would even be white passing in appearance.
@@anonnnymousthegreat but in France if your both parents are not black you are not really considered like « black », you are mixed race (métisse). And if you are like her you are considering white person, i don’t know for the orders countries like in USA for example
As a native francophone (from Québec Canada) from the second largest french speaking city in the world after Paris (MTL), these mannerisms are somewhat similar. As we have evolved over the centuries surrounded by English speakers, we are somewhat more tolerant of foreigners. But as the saying goes: "when in Rome do as the Romans"; that being said, never assume that English is readily available for all at any moment. Our largest city is bilingual (fr&eng 50% of the population) in a country that prides itself for being bilingual but situated in a province that is unilingual "officially" French (as it is the official language here; 97% speak it). That said, we will not stop serving you if you do not speak the language but do not automatically "assume" that everyone speaks English. As English is not a official language here, try to learn basic sentences as is the same anywhere else in the world. We can transpose this differently... When some of my family members go to Vancouver (Canada), they are met with rudeness as french is not a spoken language there (even though Canada has 2 official languages). Or better yet when I left my city to go to Korea many moons ago (+20 yrs ago), all the knowledge of English did not help me whatsoever there. It was necessary to learn some basic language skills of the land to lessen the struggles as a foreigner. When I hear people recommend tourists to not leave their cities as they will not be able to communicate with others is the first red flag. As I hate visiting big cities but rather visit the surroundings as to better understand the culture, food and way of life. All cities throughout the whole world offer the same experience with little tweaks here and there. But the surroundings offer the true reality, struggles, pockets of traditional life of that country and it's citizens. Experiences that are more memorable than any huge glass and steel building. I always recommend for any tourist to "invest" into a guide for the first couple of days to learn through their mannerisms as to better understand how to get service politely.
Reading your nickname, I am not surprised... But I would certainly avoid countries for travel who treat minorities or animals just because they are not like them...
@@kuravle008 "unsafe"??? ask your cousins to not come and KILL our children with knives or RAPING them... FYI: 50% of criminality in the city of Paris is due to ILLEGAL MIGRANTS, 70% by STRANGERS... even more if we include those who we gave French nationality to, so... 🤫🤐
You came to France, You have to speak French? Sounds like French people are close minded. Not in a bad way but not open enough or welcoming towards the world at least mentally.
So when you go to China you expect Chinese people to speak English with you ? What I want to say is at least you have to learn the basics of the language in the country you are going to. France is not an English-speaking country, we speak French. It's not our problem if you can't communicate, You chose to come to us, You find a way to communicate etc.
@@HeleneEXOL-1485 Nobody expects Chinese people to speak English. But there needs to be a middle ground and if you are responding to English you know somewhat of English and not answering in that language is unwelcoming. Additionally, in most countries the menu card or other stuff are often in 2/3 multiple languages. So only French does sounds unwelcoming for tourists. Other than that, there are always people who help out regardless of whether they know English or not. Lastly, the unapologetic behaviour even if they are rude is definitely unwelcoming and close minded. Also, you need to understand that English is more of a global language now and most of the countries speak English so it is not weird to expect some people in a foreign country is going to speak English and understanding that is not stupid or being disrespectful towards the local language. Not understanding this is actually stupid.
It's exagerated here to be funny. Actually when you go to Paris, most people will have a decent amount of english and will answer you the best they can. (take in mind that most people that you find on the sidewalks of Paris are not french, there is 2 million parision for 40 million tourist a year). When you go elsewhere in France, il will be harder to comunicate because even if people learn english in school, they are not as exposed to the language as other nordic countries. English is not necessary to the everyday life and they don't use it and when you don't use a language it's difficult to switch between language.
@@carthkaras6449 Personal experience bro, French people are not humble and very unapologetic even when they make a mistake. They are elegant, yes, but very much unapologetic. Also, France is a beautiful country and it is a safe country so there is no need not to visit the country. The people are just a bit rude but they are definitely not dangerous. Plus when you go travel somewhere, you plan everything beforehand so there is little chance you are going to be involved in a rough situation. So there is no need to mention the number of tourists in France. It is naturally high. If people can travel to Iraq and North Korea, they certainly can travel to a highly safe country like France. Yes you can take pride here that France is one of the safest country on earth.
@@HeleneEXOL-1485 Well when French people come to America, you should speak English then. Why do ya'll come here and speak French and get mad when I can't understand what you're staying? Double standard.
The whole thing about "you're in France, you have to speak French" is ridiculous, especially for one of the most visited city in the world, and considering that most French people won't speak English or another language while traveling abroad. (I'm saying that as a French person myself)
Je me suis fait la même réflexion. Qu'un touriste ne sache pas parler la langue du pays qu'il visite est plutôt normal (si on devait savoir parler chaque langue pour voyager on ne sortirait pas beaucoup de chez nous lol). Et pareil pour les gens qui s'attendent à se qu'on sache parler leur langue à chaque fois qu'ils voyagent.
No it's NOT!!! When american tourists arrive and 80% of them NEVER say "hello" before they speak to you, it's RUDE. If I go to a non-English speaking country, I will make the effort to learn the basics such as "hello, please, thank you, good bye". The locals feel considerated and will always treat you better if you try to speak a few words in their language, it's HUMAN and not specific to French people!!!!
@@J0HN_D03Error! It's not a human thing, it is a pure FRENCH thing. And that's why everyone and everywhere in the world is known that French people are very rude to the tourists! What surprise me the most is that, even if you can hear and read it everywhere, you never question yourself.. If 99 out of 100 people say that the sky is blue and not green, maybe you should at least doubt about your eyesight. But apparently you are too arrogant to even think you can be mistaken. So, as a tourist, I have zero interest to leave my money in your country.. Because this is what the people you mistreat in France are doing, giving you their money to have in return such a bad experience. You deserve being treated in the same way.. I would love to know then how you would feel. But you are lucky, because it's a French thing and not a human thing, so there is no other country around the world that would be that rude to you.
Wow, how delusional. She says she not mixed, but her mother is mixed... that's not how it works. As a French woman, she basically portrays how awful French people are. As an American, I can understand the whole "i do as I like" sort of attitude, but she sells out her heritage by saying she is not mixed. That's the thing about America, we cherish the cultures we and other people come from. This... woman... says she is only French because... she's probably had pressure to be one thing or another... but that's just another bad thing about France. It's sad to see.
I'm pretty sure it was just a mistake on the word choice, keep in mind she is french, it's not her first language to speak english. Why jumping to conclusions like this? I could be petty and say it's typical of americans, but I'm not as prejudiced as you. The way I see it, she was trying to explain that her father is white. As a french person myself, I honestly thought the word mixed was only used for people who are directly half and half of something. Like black mother, white father, or asian father white mother. I didn't think a quarter something counted as mixed. If that's the case then, aren't we all mixed? No one is a 100% from one place.
I love how americans assume stuff like you do lol. Im french and I’m a mixed person with a black mom and white dad, by most french people I’m considered a “lightskin” black person. Here we don’t treat the notion of race like you do in the US. She’s white passing as her mom is mixed and her father’s white. She does not look anything other than white and therefore is considered a white person that has black genes but is still white passing because nobody can tell she’s black and she doesn’t live through the lens of a black person. It’s really simple to get
Black french girl here! So first off, we are not race obssessed like you american. Anyone can become french, french is not a blood thing, and it's has been establish ever since the Revolution with the human rights act. Here in France, the vast majority see you as french. If someone go to talk with someone else they will think they are french, because ethnicity mean nothing to french nationality. We don't talk about our origins unless asked because we don't need to talk about it everyday to know our origins. Unlike american I don't have to wear my origins flags and yell to world where I'm from. I'm french first, because this is where I grew up, where my life is ever since I'm a toddler. Here in France, when someone ask where you are from, they don't ask you if you are french, they ask your most recent (usually grand-fathers origins) foreign origin country, which most people will respond things like : congolese, morroco, chinese, spanish, etc. We only say that we are french when we are outside the country or with people who are not french, we follow up with our origins if they want to know more, if it's with people who share the same origins as us, we says origin region/tribe we are from. That is how it's work for us. Unlike american, who are like 1% irish but knows nothing about Ireland, we actually live our many culture inside of our home. I'm as french as I am congolese and angolese. This is how it's work here.
If you just have a French nationality, you are French. No matter your origins, if people want to know they ask, we don't really care because a French still a french. In the same way if you are an American who have just one of your grandparents who is French, your are not for us. If you are black with a french nationality, you OBVIOUSLY still French even if you don't have origins. But if you have your both parents with French origins but you have a different nationality you're not considered like a French. The nationality and the skin color are totally different here, when we ask to a foreigner "Where do you from?" We don't ask his origins but the country where he is born or lives.

Plus when you go travel somewhere, you plan everything beforehand so there is little chance you are going to be involved in a rough situation. So there is no need to mention the number of tourists in France. It is naturally high. If people can travel to Iraq and North Korea, they certainly can travel to a highly safe country like France. Yes you can take pride here that France is one of the safest country on earth.
@@HeleneEXOL-1485 Well when French people come to America, you should speak English then. Why do ya'll come here and speak French and get mad when I can't understand what you're staying? Double standard.
The whole thing about "you're in France, you have to speak French" is ridiculous, especially for one of the most visited city in the world, and considering that most French people won't speak English or another language while traveling abroad. (I'm saying that as a French person myself)
Je me suis fait la même réflexion. Qu'un touriste ne sache pas parler la langue du pays qu'il visite est plutôt normal (si on devait savoir parler chaque langue pour voyager on ne sortirait pas beaucoup de chez nous lol).
Et pareil pour les gens qui s'attendent à se qu'on sache parler leur langue à chaque fois qu'ils voyagent.
ben no quand tu vas dans un pays c'est à toi de t'adapter pas aux autres mdr . C'est a toi de faire ton possible pour te faire comprendre
No it's NOT!!! When american tourists arrive and 80% of them NEVER say "hello" before they speak to you, it's RUDE. If I go to a non-English speaking country, I will make the effort to learn the basics such as "hello, please, thank you, good bye". The locals feel considerated and will always treat you better if you try to speak a few words in their language, it's HUMAN and not specific to French people!!!!
@@J0HN_D03Error! It's not a human thing, it is a pure FRENCH thing. And that's why everyone and everywhere in the world is known that French people are very rude to the tourists! What surprise me the most is that, even if you can hear and read it everywhere, you never question yourself.. If 99 out of 100 people say that the sky is blue and not green, maybe you should at least doubt about your eyesight. But apparently you are too arrogant to even think you can be mistaken. So, as a tourist, I have zero interest to leave my money in your country.. Because this is what the people you mistreat in France are doing, giving you their money to have in return such a bad experience. You deserve being treated in the same way.. I would love to know then how you would feel. But you are lucky, because it's a French thing and not a human thing, so there is no other country around the world that would be that rude to you.
Oh so France is a city now...................................................... T'es sûre t'es française ?
So is she western with a french background?
No, she's just French, it's stated in multiple videos of the channel where she appears
what does this mean? france is western so all french are westerners...
Wow, how delusional. She says she not mixed, but her mother is mixed... that's not how it works. As a French woman, she basically portrays how awful French people are. As an American, I can understand the whole "i do as I like" sort of attitude, but she sells out her heritage by saying she is not mixed. That's the thing about America, we cherish the cultures we and other people come from. This... woman... says she is only French because... she's probably had pressure to be one thing or another... but that's just another bad thing about France. It's sad to see.
I'm pretty sure it was just a mistake on the word choice, keep in mind she is french, it's not her first language to speak english. Why jumping to conclusions like this? I could be petty and say it's typical of americans, but I'm not as prejudiced as you. The way I see it, she was trying to explain that her father is white. As a french person myself, I honestly thought the word mixed was only used for people who are directly half and half of something. Like black mother, white father, or asian father white mother. I didn't think a quarter something counted as mixed. If that's the case then, aren't we all mixed? No one is a 100% from one place.
I love how americans assume stuff like you do lol.
Im french and I’m a mixed person with a black mom and white dad, by most french people I’m considered a “lightskin” black person.
Here we don’t treat the notion of race like you do in the US. She’s white passing as her mom is mixed and her father’s white. She does not look anything other than white and therefore is considered a white person that has black genes but is still white passing because nobody can tell she’s black and she doesn’t live through the lens of a black person. It’s really simple to get
Black french girl here! So first off, we are not race obssessed like you american. Anyone can become french, french is not a blood thing, and it's has been establish ever since the Revolution with the human rights act.
Here in France, the vast majority see you as french. If someone go to talk with someone else they will think they are french, because ethnicity mean nothing to french nationality. We don't talk about our origins unless asked because we don't need to talk about it everyday to know our origins. Unlike american I don't have to wear my origins flags and yell to world where I'm from. I'm french first, because this is where I grew up, where my life is ever since I'm a toddler.
Here in France, when someone ask where you are from, they don't ask you if you are french, they ask your most recent (usually grand-fathers origins) foreign origin country, which most people will respond things like : congolese, morroco, chinese, spanish, etc. We only say that we are french when we are outside the country or with people who are not french, we follow up with our origins if they want to know more, if it's with people who share the same origins as us, we says origin region/tribe we are from. That is how it's work for us.
Unlike american, who are like 1% irish but knows nothing about Ireland, we actually live our many culture inside of our home. I'm as french as I am congolese and angolese. This is how it's work here.
@@narudayo5053 franchement rien à dire c'était très bien exprimé
If you just have a French nationality, you are French. No matter your origins, if people want to know they ask, we don't really care because a French still a french.
In the same way if you are an American who have just one of your grandparents who is French, your are not for us.
If you are black with a french nationality, you OBVIOUSLY still French even if you don't have origins. But if you have your both parents with French origins but you have a different nationality you're not considered like a French.
The nationality and the skin color are totally different here, when we ask to a foreigner "Where do you from?" We don't ask his origins but the country where he is born or lives.
