It's also easier to keep using English than to try to decide which language should replace it. That it's not the official language of most EU countries actually makes English more attractive.

Kurtofan posted:French journalists are melting down on twitter over being called racist after the christchurch shootings No but you see, they're merely explaining the ~legitimate concerns~ of the people talking about things like the "great replacement" conspiracy theory or "remigrating" (  ) people of non-european descent.The language barrier really saves France from a lot of scrutiny.

Samovar posted:Any good summaries? On the same day as the Christchurch massacre, one TV channel invited known racist shithead Robert Ménard to a debate about it. Some choice quotes from Wikipedia to show you who he is: quote:In May 2015, Ménard violated French law by attempting to record the religion of schoolchildren in his city, claiming that 64.9% were Muslim, based on their first names. In September, he visited a refugee complex to tell them that they were not welcome in France, and two months later he declared that no more kebab restaurants would open in Béziers. Spoiler: he spouted more racist poo poo. On the same loving day Edit: Since then we've essentially had several people provide the articulate and nuanced equivalent of the poo poo Fraser Anning said last Friday. With a dash of denial about the references to French racists by the terrorist. As I saw someone say on Twitter, those racists have tiny audiences. They write books barely anyone buys. But they're consistently being given platforms on several TV and radio channels, as well as in the written press to a lesser extent. Kassad has issued a correction as of 16:25 on Mar 18, 2019 |

hobbesmaster posted:How can you hate kebab restaurants. He was born in Algeria and his family was kicked out when it became independent. He's probably always hated North Africans but was too smart to show it until he saw that it was becoming acceptable. Edit: More broadly acceptable, I should have said. It's always been acceptable although there was a slight decline in the 1980s and 1990s. Kassad has issued a correction as of 16:31 on Mar 18, 2019 |

He probably means the initial wave of conquest by Muslims that led to the creation of the first califate. Before that, the Byzantine empire still controlled the Middle East, Egypt and North Africa. After, they never controlled anything east of modern-day Turkey or south of the Mediterranean.
