    I find French people intelligent and very inquisitive. They like to engage in conversations that would stir your brain and make an opinion out of it bec they don’t believe a person doesn’t have anything to say about a particular topic esp related to politics, economy, culture, arts, religion, global affairs etc. and so when a foreigner knows so much about France, they’d be so impress.

    The reason why the rooster became one of the symbols of France appears to be purely linguistic, and trivially refers to the Latin word gallus, which means both Gaulish and cockerel.
    This misunderstanding, however, is entirely incidental and does not concern the animal: the Romans in fact, had only borrowed the word Γαλάται (Galatai) that the ancient Greeks used to identify the Celtic populations with whom they had come into contact.
    Today this animal, which is said not to be liked by Napoleon, is found on roofs and bell towers (used as a weather vane) or on monuments to the fallen.

    The only reason I might be hesitant about a capital is that in the Americas, the largest and most famous city is rarely the capital.
    Washington DC is a major metro area, but it's not a patch on NYC, LA, or Chicago. Canada's biggest city is Toronto, by a pretty substantial margin, but the national capital? Ottawa. Brazil's biggest city? São Paulo. The next biggest city? Tourist magnet Rio de Janeiro. The capital is the third largest city, Brasília, which was purpose built to be the national capital. Heck, over in Oceania, Australia's biggest and most famous cities are Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, and Canberra is all the way down at number 6.

They let immigrants harm them and their culture. The government makes origional french people suffer. There's a dilemma over how to protect France and its culture and at the same time not to be acused of discrimination against immigrants.

    Je suis Américaine. I’ve never met anyone who thinks Paris is a country. Paris is also a popular name for girls in the USA so I’m sure most Americans know it’s a city. In fact we have discussions about Paris. If there is a stereotype most of us don’t know Paris is a city then it should be pointed out French people particularly Parisians also have a reputation among us Americans. I’ve had many discussions with fellow Americans about their experiences in visiting France and my encounters with French tourists in my travels in Africa.

      It wasn't made clear in my comment but I was only talking about their age difference, because there had been so much talking about brigitte macron when macron got president. It was so recurrent, she was mocked on the internet and bolsonaro even made a joke about her looks... That it so disgusting and sexist and that's why I was a bit annoyed by the previous comment and wanted to make the parallel, even though I'm actually not sure that was what the person meant.
      I do agree that people would be more critical if the genders were switched, though I would not say it is infantilising women : it is just caused by context. Men get assaulted, and more than people would think, but I looked up for stats and women are responsible for 3-5% of sexual assaults. The way we educate boys just leads them to assault more, that's it. But yes the problem here is pure power dynamic, which I agree is not healthy.

    By the way, the questions were really a bit complicated. The population of the country? I have a good knowledge of geography, but I can only say the population of my country, and maybe China? Because it is the first in terms of population.
    A national animal? I don't know any of them at all.
    Questions about the flag and the capital are not so difficult. But even then, half of the flags in Europe consist of three colors in different sequences, and it is very easy to confuse even the Europeans themselves.

When I was 12, I could list you all the countries, their capitals, and describe the flags. But I don't think I was more educated at 12 than at 32.
      I spoke in defense of Christina because everyone says that Americans are stupid and don't understand geography. And I say, if you approach a person on the street and ask what the population is, for example, Switzerland, or Spain, no one will tell you that. People are not encyclopedias to keep these numbers in themselves.
      It's another thing to ask famous cities, famous people, some cultural peculiarities. At the same time, I'm not criticizing the list of questions, I'm just saying that few people will be able to answer the question about the number of people in the country.
      But apparently in your world, the level of education is determined precisely by the knowledge of the number of the country's population and sports teams. And since I'm not into sports, and Christina, for example, doesn't watch the news, it means we have a pathetic level of education.
      P.s. At least: Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Serbia, Croatia, Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, and I do not know which other countries have a tricolor flag with white, blue, and red (in different order). Yes, if you try, you can remember the flag of France, it is quite popular, but even the girl in the video says that people often confuse the location of the colors of the flag.

For exemple in the begining in France we worshiped gods like Teutatès (like in asterix lol) or Cernunnos.Then the Romans took over and paired our gods with theirs, so we also worshiped Roman gods for a while.

    But why a rooster for France? To know how this emblem was born, you have to go back to Antiquity. At that time, the Romans made fun of the Gauls (gaulois in french) because of a linguistic coincidence, because in Latin the word gallus means Gaul (gaulois en français)... but also rooster!
    Over time, the kings of France adopted the rooster for its courage and bravery. During the Revolution, it became the symbol of the people and the state: it appeared on the currency. Napoleon preferred the eagle, emblem of imperial Rome, but the bird of prey did not impose itself on France for long.
    Today, the French rooster can be found almost everywhere: on stamps or at the entrance to the Elysée Palace. It is even worn by the French football, rugby and handball teams and by Olympic Selection athletes.
