My friend, I think you got mixed-up reading the above thread.

If anyone should “Cut a bit of slack to those different from [oneself]”, it ain't me, dude.

One’s background or education are no excuse / justification to share bigoted and short-sighted views and, worse still, to pass these as being in any way helpful.

Again, I respect this poster but feel sadden that someone would have such views on any country, let alone France.
