      I’m French, ain’t no way a french community doesn’t fall for it, this might be the easiest one to troll.

          Terminally online Québecois will fucking light their keyboards on fire with friction alone. Absolutely wild over here.

          IRL I love the energy though: government proposed a modest increase to tuition so over 100k people protested for days.

          Compared to anglo Canadians who just take whatever they get, I appreciate the Québecois.

          IDK try pointing out to a French person “I know nothing about France but why should that matter after all it is just France. It’s not an important place like America or The UK” they love it.

            Tell a qubecois they’re not real french and it gets hilarious. Took french lessons as an adult and our teacher was from quebec, it got weiiird. At least the flemish have their own thing and don’t give a shit.

              I used to sell wine in retail and for the most part only at nationally recognized stores. My favorite thing to do with French people is talk all about the culture that didn’t invent wines but perfected them as I brought them over to the Italian sections

              Québécois here. I have never understood when people tell me I am not French. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

              Of course we’re not French, we haven’t been for centuries! We share a language and an ancestry.

              I think most Québécois would agree with me that your statement is just confusing. You’re just stating something like we’re not aware of it.

          Quebecois are too close to the US, you guys know what it’s like. So I give you that it must be a more common thing to happen to you.

          But we on the other hand would never even consider origins like an American.

          Not only that but a lot of us hate Americans, and most of us have some chauvinism.

      Now I kinda want to know which country communities would react most positively and negatively to such a post.

      UK here so we get multiple choices but I think all of them would laugh at you. Northern Irish you should probably be careful with.

            Mine would be “I’m from Argentina but I found out I’m 10% British! 🤗 This means the Falklands can be BOTH British and Argentinian amd everybody wins!!! Or should I call them the Falkinas 😆”

            Sit back and wait for the firing squad
