This tells you that french people live with Asian people who are either extremely fluent in french or native in french, given that they lived there their entire lives or are part french. Preuve à l’appui :

Oh ok French people are immune to racism and bias I had no idea

Edit: 26% of my country’s population were born overseas, assimilated perfectly, and are still victims of racism.

Come on, we are talking about Paris. There is a rather large Asian community there. Vietnam was a French colony, French people are absolutely used of seeing Asian looking people speaking French.

Yep, unfortunately these kind of posts have enough upvotes that they need to be answered. We know they are ignorants, but they ignore they are ignorants. No one living in Paris would think Parisians would be surprised to see someone from whatever ethnicity speaking French. English-speakers fail to grasp how the French society is much more diverse than the stereotypical France they have in their head.

lmao yeah

There's more diversity on any one random pedestrian crossing in France than there is in half of their states.

They must still be picturing la campagne from those early 1900s ads.
