I am a french old timer. In the seventies, wen I was an expat in Abidjan, Côte-d’Ivoire, West-Africa, I saw huge snails about 1 kg/2 pounds in a traditional african market. Ivorian "mamans" used to sell them alive, a dozen in a bucket. I ate those huge snails in a traditional african restaurant with "attiéké" (a kind of manioc semola) and a thick spiced sauce, very very hot sauce west-african style. I liked the meal ... The beer was ivorian, the music was congolese, happy seventies in West-Africa... A young white man in his twenties could walk easily in a traditional african market without any problem, the ivorian simple people used to be very kind and always smiling and kidding with "le jeune blanc".

People will treat you the way you treat them, I agree! As a well traveled Frenchman, I never encountered rude people in Paris nor in NYC where I used to live for several years and both Parisians & NYorkers don’t have the best reputation.. It is all about how you approach people. A "hello" and a smile usually get a hello and a smile in return But I have to say Chinese people and some Eastern Europeans like Estonians are not the friendliest people out there at least on the surface and I will put it down to education or quite simply to human relationships with strangers

the part about people being nice is so true, especially when asking for directions like guys will forget where they are going and take you to the place you are looking for

Also People in province are cooler than in Paris where they always seems to be in the hurry. Regarding your fera on how you would be accepted as a Black person, i would say that because of its history, with colony France strategy for foreigner is intégration, trying to avoid community, so that by the time and génération you become french despite your origin, color or religion, but because you adhere to french values that made France what it is.

The more south you get, the more people aren't honest and only respect the law because police are here. Look at the magreb, look at mafia in south italy, the more corrupt state in europe are greece.

Well put! I think my phrasing didn’t come out quite as I wanted it to so thanks for that.

In french we say "avant l'heure, ce n'est pas l'heure. Après l'heure, ce n'est plus l'heure" meaning before the hour, it's not the hour. After the hour, it's no longer the hour.

About racism. France is not a racist country, here it's more about social class. If you come from the suburbs, you can be blond with blue eyes, it will be hard for you. Because of the reputation made by our medias about those zones. But if you are student, middle class or rich, dont worry in France. Discriminations here, are more about where you live than which color you have. Also the way you speak and your style. If you look hiphop, yeah you'll be disciminate. If we met a woman or a man like you, of course we will be more friendly with you ;) I am arab. I am from the proletariat, but my family aways teach me to look clean and to speak well. In my life, I had three control of police and I never been discriminated. I love my country, France is fair (except in social class fight ;) ). PS : many companies prefers hire foreigners from Africa or Maghreb than arabs or blacks from suburbs. So we are not talking about racism as you can see. It's something else.

Hey, thanks for the insightful response. Indeed, I can’t say I have ever faced any overt discrimination, if anything people have been pleasant and quite helpful. I’ve learnt a lot from this, thanks for commenting!

It's funny to see you describing French people as respecting time. I guess you don't live in the South of France... Huh, no, you live in Carcassone ? That's not a place I would associate with "being right on time" :D Now, if you ever go to Japan, you will discover what punctuality really is. We are nowhere close to them on that regard.

Its great that you've been welcomed here, but systemic racism do exist. It depends where you are and who you are with. And also careful with the police. They're known to be racists. But yes there are kind people too :) Stay safe !

This "rude French" thing is an Anglo US invention and is nothing but a pile of B.S. It's called cultural differences. Most of the French are more reserved than loud Anglosaxons who shout and yell every 5 minutes for anything, but are probably more open minded than many other nationalities. As for Parisians, they are normal pople like in any other place. As someone living in the Paris area, i've often tried in the past to communicate in English with foreign tourists, whom English speaking tourists. The impression was that i bothered them more than anything else. Like in any major world capitals, a lot of people deal with harsh daily life probems, and are stressed. Go in NYC or London, and enjoy. Individual people and crowds are 2 different things, when one take the time to communicate. I really think that a lot of people, particularly in US, should definitively try to cure their problem with the French in good mental institutions. Boring.
