being racist/xenophobic to french people?
i know it's funny and all, as a matter of fact i've done the "L french" "fr*nch" shit myself.
but like, it's really weird how people are selectively okay with racism/xenophobia against certain races/nationalities.

i know a lot of french people are insufferable even on val and are racist themselves but still.
same thing for racism against south asians on twitter. shit's a whole mess

I genuinely thought it’s just banter

Cuz it’s funny how true it is
When so many french people queue london servers
And ruin the match by throwing and crying

It’s fucked

I can see how it can easily become not banter if it's just lazy comments to straight up harassment. It's banter until it is not funny and that just depends on the French person and the person making the jokes. It does remind me of how people would make the "bott'o'wu'ah" jokes for British people and it would get very old quickly. It's not even like it's upsetting, but it's just such a low hanging fruit joke that's been played out.

i feel like that's different tbh, that one feels more like actual banter
as opposed to straight up hatred for french people

I hate to be the devil's advocate but Indians not majority but a lot of them are extremely racist and discriminating towards their own people due to regional and religion and caste bias and so sometimes it's a great thing to see those same shitheads get angry and rant over people being racist towards them

even so, it's never okay to generalize a whole group of people.
