lost in postation posted:I think it's more comparable to "negro" in contemporary American usage - stinks of historical racism, not acceptable in polite conversation but not a career-ending slur either. I think this is more correct, I remember my mom (who left France in the mid-80s) using it when I was a kid, never, ever as a slur but rather just as the word to be used to refer to black people. I haven't heard her use the term in a long while though so my guess is one of her sisters told her it's no longer a word that's used.

La préfecture a indiqué plus tard dans la soirée que l'enquête privilégiait l'hypothèse du règlement de compte, écartant la piste terroriste. Probably still white ISIS, what would the cops know.

Condiv posted:whoa, thousands of euros of aid and you get no results? these people are truly beyond help... He actually said billions, milliards and milliers are two different words the translator didn't differentiate between apparently. He also doesn't actually blame women with 7-8 kids, that's pretty disingenuous, he just says that those kinds of demographic issues are one of the myriad of problems Africa has to deal with which is far greater than the challenges that had to be dealt with when it came to Marshall Aid. It'd be nice if the tweet showed the whole speech instead of just 28 spliced seconds. HookShot fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jul 10, 2017 |

I've seen like five different people on Facebook like/share/comment on articles about Macron being a giant racist (all in English) and blaming African women for all their woes, it's definitely taking hold on this side of the world.

My mom thinks he's a gently caress-up because he was literally not in the public eye at all basically until he became President of the republic, which is a pretty loving major step to take in one go. She thinks as long as he surrounds himself with intelligent people he'll end up being fine, and she's willing to forgive him saying the wrong thing until about Christmas while he gets used to being the biggest political figure in France after basically being a nobody. I personally think people just voted for him to oppose LePen, I mean, your choice was literally Nazis, or some other dude who's still very right wing and he's not going to get better.

Honestly all of us in Vancouver thought the Olympics there were spending way too much money and were going to be super poo poo but they ended up being pretty cool. That said the odds of us having a terrorist attack in the middle of the games were pretty low.

Nothing says France like phrases stolen from America. Why does Paris even want the games, anyway? It's not like the need the exposure. I'm pretty sure even the biggest idiot in the middle of nowhere, USA, knows the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre exist and are considered pretty good.

Toplowtech posted:It's a real estate wet dream, you can rebuild whole part of the town as the olympic village without the usual tons of legal protections to bother you and you can resell them as habitation to richer people later. The fact that the village will be build in Seine Saint Denis is pretty telling. I expect some serious gentrification. gently caress, everyone with money and their mothers are probably already buying some buildings around the site. Maybe tour guides over here will stop telling people to avoid going to St. Denis Cathedral because it's in a dangerous part of Paris (because there are black people and black people are scary).

I can't decide if my favourite couscousgate guy is the one who accuses Philippot of being a secret infilatrating leftist, or the guy who said that when the party kicks him out we'll celebrate with a good choucrotte. I feel like there's an Antoinette joke to be made there.

Yeah, I don't see your point? Under Canadian law all of those examples would be considered rape, but teenagers are still able to bang each other freely the way kids do without it being illegal.
