In the spirit of social and racial correctness, I will raise the oh so touchy subject of race in an attempt to educate my American friends about the fact that France is just as racially diverse as America is. A lot of you americans tend to be unaware of that fact.
Yes it is possible for a person such as myself, a French woman of North African descent to be French ! Ever since I have been in this country, in specific Los Angeles, people have been confusing me for a Mexican, or a person of hispanic descent, mainly by whites but also by others such as latinos, blacks, and everything else in between. Hello : Extra, extra, extra, read all about it : France is JUST as diverse as the good ol' U.S.A. Any Americans who have stepped foot in Paris for example would know that. Not all French people have blond hair or blue eyes ! Oh and one more thing SVP and en passant : I am not an immigrant ! For the record, I am just as French as Geraldine or Julien ! Yes it is possible to be French and be called Malik, or Rachida, or Tarek or even Mehdi ! Zut alors !
In summary, diversity is what makes the world go round ! Never assume, if you don't know just ask a frenchie !
