French-Canadians think they're French-Canadian, not "French."
- robomartin 1y agoOh, I am sure. And yet, I have also seen evidence to the contrary from some. People can be weird. The argument goes something like: We are direct descendants of French immigrants ("pure blood" argument). It's along similar lines as descendants of Italian immigrants in New York calling themselves "Italian"...not realizing how far they are from that being remotely real.
- throaway955 1y agoIs there not a big difference between Canadiens living in a Francophone province (one that they founded hundreds of years ago), speaking French as a first language and practicing French culture, and Italian-Americans speaking English and living in English speaking states that they have no historical association with?
