Blimey, that's a bit harsh .. 99% of my posts would be deleted at that rate.

Re: "The French"
I can think of very few similarities between French Canadians and the European French, except perhaps perhaps physical attributes, bits of the language and some culture.
I lived in France for two years in the early 80s and met plenty of deeply rude, unpleasant, racist and violent people. I was once beaten up by three blokes just because I was English.
I've been living in Quebec for almost two years and was around French Canadians for eight years before that. I'm trying hard to think of an incidence of "French" behaviour and I'm struggling to come up with one. In theory, as an Anglo-Canadian and, worse still, a Brit, I should be getting the $hit kicked out of me on a hourly basis.
