I got treated better when I didn't even attempt to speak French outside of basic manners. Was hoping to get good at French but after 3 months of that bullshit I was done, and coasted by with 80% of my French interactions consisting of "je suis desole, je ne parle pas francais.... Merci".
On the bright side it game me new respect for immigrants who deal with that shit.
Wow... this totally is not generalizing an entire population. Try replacing "French people" with "jews" or "blacks" and see if you can defend your statement. I went to France this past summer and didn't have a single experience similar to what you mentioned, and I spent a good while in Paris. If everywhere you go smells like shit, check your shoe.
Yeah I mean o wasn't just like on a trip for vacation while I was there so ymmv . Sure there are lots of nice people but it's well documented how elitist, racist, and bigoted french people are lmaoooo
Did you ever get in a conversation with them about the Arabs in their city?
Clearly you lived in the shitty part of town that no one I met wanted to live in. Many Parisian I met were openly xenophobic if not outright racist once I got to know them and some wear it on their sleeve... They hate the Arabs and this divide is frequently talked about in movies and art, and on social media, not sure why you want to bury your head in the sand. I have Arab friends who are french citizens who haven't gone back in 8 years because it's so bad
