Everybody who thinks Lionel is anti-Semitic say aye.
Those who think he's a sockpuppet say amen.
Those who think he probably represents the typical mindset of the
typical
Frenchman say ahem.
Why do you want to stereotype the French? Is it any worse than
anti-semitism?
I didn't, I asked if you thought it was typical.
No such thing as a typical Frenchman without a stereotype.
I usually think of stereotype as having a negative connotation, a
generalization on the other hand is something that tends to be true, so
I'd
say I was asking for a generalization, or your impressions of the typical
Frenchman, based on your experience. Lionel's got enough negativity
floating around him, I would hope he's not any kind of stereotype or that
his attitudes generally reflect those of the average Frenchman.
Note, in a generation or two, the average Frenchman will be Muslim, and
probably not an ethnic Gaul.
