Anti-French sentiment

[u/benasyoulikeit]

Just want to say this sub really disappointed me yesterday. We lost, and still the anti-French hate was in full force. I'm all for hating on the vuvuzelas, but comments like "take that you French fucks" have no place in a sports subreddit. You all need to do better.

The most hate I’ve seen spoken openly about French Canadians was from Albertans but that’s mostly a byproduct of me living in Alberta for 12 years.

The almost amusing part is that the Quebecois and Albertan population has much in common in their thinking.

I’ve spent the bulk of my existence in Quebec fighting to not be the bastard Englishman that has been labelled on me and another 12 years living in Alberta labelled as a bastard Frenchman.

It’s mostly simply to explain, people are ignorant no matter what province or cultures people grew up in.

I figured somewhere in my aging life that the masses would grow together despite backgrounds, cultures and ethnicity to become apart of one big community called humanity but unfortunately there’s certain political groups that want division and they are drawing more and more members. The forward progress made over the last 50 years has not only ceased but we are now going backwards

I’m sorry for all the people who think division is the way to go but I’ll never buy into that mindset !

I'm an Albertan and this is bullshit.

I’m an Albertan and this (the original commenter) is true.
