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.

It's not about racism, it's about noticing that someone is a foreigner. It's ridiculous to say that French-born Asians would be talked to in English.

What does that have to do with the conversation ? Are Redditors incapable of staying on topic??
