  I mean, it’s mostly a dig at Parisians, but also I’m gonna need you to watch Spiderman 2 and tell me he wasn’t the best in that one. Who couldn’t relate to that existential crisis?
context: I don't subscribe to your language theory. The French language is not racist or anything in itself. What is your source on the homophone claim? The Académie française is pretty conservative yes, but how hellishly difficult or exception laden/grammar heavy French is is very much exaggerated. On the contrary, it's pretty grammatically simplified. There's a lot of renewal and informal slang in French as well. Grammar has simplified, vocabulary has dicersified and phonology has changed a lot due to heavy contact with other (Germanic, Celtic) languages. In fact, all of this is pretty similar in English, yet no one here will upvote such language determininistic views here because we are using it to communicate rightnow. 
  Also, the Anglophone world is not racist because the US is 'culturally relevant'? I guess Africa has no real economical or political power but does it not have culture or cultural influence? Why would being economically powerful make you more tolerant? Americans are not enclosed into their own bubble and know a lot about other languages and cultures? And if you are referring to American melting pot culture, like, French definitely has that as well from former colonies.
  Really, French people can be annoyingly patriotic and isolationist, trust me, I can get annoyed by that as well. I just think your whole explanation for it from an Americentric perspective is pretty much rubbish. >
  
  the problem with french is that a lot of the complexity is arbitrary.  German has a similar level of complexity but none of the arbitrariness, which means that once you've got the rules down, building your own sentences is pretty simple. Meanwhile french has rules like "in the imperative mode, present tense, you don't put the S at the end of the verb when it's conjugated for the second person singular, unless the verb isn't from the first group". 
  I'm french, I taught french abroad, it's a nightmare, you're looking at people who have a simple, functionnal grammar, and they're asking you "why do I have to put +ent to signify plural in the verb if I already put they as a subject, it sounds the same anyway" (you dont pronounce most verbal terminations in french) and the only answer you can give them is "it's fancy. We like it fancy" >
  
  I remember learning French at school, and the tenses were always the worst bit of it. Our textbooks had three or four pages of tables just describing how words change for a given tense, and I can’t remember anyone who was able to get their head around it in a classroom setting. >
  
  I took 4 years of high school French, and French 3 was taught for half the year by a long-term substitute while the actual teacher was on maternity leave. Trying to learn all the tenses with the subjunctive mood from someone who had herself probably just learned it in high school sucked. >
  
  
  The man resented that community because Kurdish militiamen involved in the Syrian conflict had "taken prisoners during their fight against Islamic State instead of killing them", the prosecutors say.
  
  What an idiot. The average migrant is preferable to people with this kind of insane and violent thinking. >
  
  I agree with your sentiment and had a laugh, but I must protest your username.
