the french, bieng french already, are only dimly aware of all this other tedious blither blather that other people get up to, and only partisipate in the greater world at all, because it reafirms the sense of how hopeless the condition of non frenchness remains. watching someone attempting to project even viruelent racism and predjudice on the french is revelatory, as they bask in noise and expeded effort, as these are the kinds of things they expect from excited animals, and makes them happy. though I have personaly managed to break through all that with my own chearfull unintentional manglement and demolition of there language, to which they will say "non, please dont, this is wrong, please no"
