French clichés

[echelon_ga_l]

Yesterday, don't ask me why, I searched for "France" definition on Urban Dictionary. I wanted to see what kind of clichés would be written there, if there were other clichés than those I already know. Actually there was and I wanted to clear up a few things. No, I'm not putting it under a LJ-cut, sorry ! :)

*snorts* You know, if you research Germany you might find things like "Hates France, invaded it at least twice, still kicks itself that they had to give up pieces of land to france in reparation."

And no, I didn't invade France either. Not even my granddads were anywhere near france. My grandpa 1 and 2 both went to Siberia, so I probably only could say my Grandpas tried to invade Russia, got cought and stayed to work for 7 years and left a few toes there. Besides, in return the Russians raped a few or my Grandma's sisters (My grand-grand uncle still is thought of as the one 'from the Russians')... so I think we're even.

*shakes head* It wasn't in our generation anyway, barely anything of those things above are actually still true, expect for a few point that all EU countries may have in common.

"It is true that 10% of the population of France is Islamic, and there are women in headscarves and strange drab overcoats in the hottest weather." This should absolutely stand in a ten point list about germany too. Plus, if you wear a scarf around the head when working or on the street and not look like a typical Islamic woman (As in my case to not get too dirty or not let your hair all over the stuff you pain) you get looked at funnily, but treated with a strange kind of respect. I actually tried it on purpose a few times because I have very dark eyes and just went out with three islamic female friends to feel the difference for an afternoon. It was a very interesting experiment to see how people react.
