Why are French-Canadians so arrogant? |
Travel Info They of all people should be humble considering their origins. France didn't send its best and brightest to Quebec after all. Instead, criminals, peasants, prostitutes, and other undesireable were sent to New France. Do they suffer from penis envy in regards to France, and try to emulate their old world counterparts? Travel Tips Great question because I've always wondered why them and even the French in France are arrogant. I think you're right about the envy Others They do get so ticked off if you dont speak french. I mean come on - they want to be like france? No one really wants to be France do they? It is a defensive mechanism that all cultures use who are truly afraid that you will discover that they are afraid... It's the French part that makes them that way !!! No offense, but that's what people say... I personally have some very good friends up in Quebec City and Toronto and they are really nice and friendly.. I want to answer you just to tell you something...I am french Quebecois and my husband is American English. First, i try to do my best when i need to speak english but people are friendly with me because when i do a mistake when i speak i tell my friend to correct me and tell me the good word and the pronunciation. If i tell you that it's just to say don't be racism. Everywhere you will go you gonna find different style of personality. I am not arrogant and for French from France it's the same as an Italian from Italy. You can't put all Quebecois in the same bag, i don't know if you understand what i mean, but first i was proud because i am human and human is more intelligent as a bug and be sure I am not arrogant because who i am to say I am more intelligent as a Mexican or an other people in they other country. I like talk with everybody and i like learn about their country and the history, for me no one is more intelligent as they other. P.S Sorry for my bad English but please understand i try to do my best as same as my husband are American. When i married him, he told me that he want learn more french because here like you know the first language is French, but i practice English and more i practice English and more i speak well. So i want tell you someting, my sister in law she came from China so it's mean that we are not racist. Take care to you and have a good week. friendly L.M If you can't understand something than label it, that's what most ignorant people do because it is easier than finding out for yourself. If everything you know comes from late-night talk shows you are bound to have a lot of opinions that are given to you. Go there with an idea of learning something and you may gain a different insight. Ontario born and raised, but met enough French Canadians to appreciate the differences. |
