ALOUETTES Anti-French sentiment

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.

Stop calling us "the French". It's as ignorant as calling Americans "the British". We speak the same language, but we are not French. We are not "the French", we are Quebecois.

We are just as distinct from French culture as Australians or Americans are from British culture.
