I was with you until the ‘woke France’ stuff.

  Which is ironic because France strikes me as one of the least "woke" countries in Europe.

    No country is perfect, but French society is pretty notoriously sexist and racist.

    Well funny you say that, but my parents there were telling me about it !! And they cant speak nor read English so there s something going on. I dont follow French stuff much anymore (am in China), but I ve noticed more racial separatism debate in France (like should we do like the US and start defining races in the seemingly positive intention to protect "weak" races or should we continue saying humans are not split in races but are just a messy gradient of weather-dependent attributes losing the ability to target policies at people based on those attributes)
