I would also recommend not being too loud, French people usually are pretty quiet in restaurants or public spaces, and being loud is frowned upon.
> French people usually are pretty quiet It's not just French people. American tourists have a reputation in many countries for being annoyingly loud.
I went in thinking it would be just amazing and expecting an exemplary brand experience only to land in HR hell with some dirty scoundrel managers and rampant corruption all through the ranks compounded by lame duck self-dealing executives
I eventually had to be airlifted out after a bad reaction similar to a psychotic break
People it doesn't have to be this way!
Hang on. Why is everyone talking about dirty Paris streets and not about the claim that unrealistic expectations can result in literal psychosis? Surely this kind of mind-body connection would suggest further investigation, inform policy on deceptive advertising, etc.
But yeah this only justifies a wikipedia article because we have memed it because it is funny.

It is not racism or xenophobia to want to preserve what is good about a nation's culture, and limit the import of other nations' and culture's problems. Could you please answer the following questions: 1. Is there a limit at which you believe mass migration into France would be undesirable? 2. If you believe that there is such a limit; what would a legitimate movement to argue for limiting mass migration look like, s…
>1. Is there a limit at which you believe mass migration into France would be undesirable? Too much mass immigration to anywhere would be undesirable, but for economic and population density reasons. I am skeptical of the idea of the idea that culture is fixed and immutable. > what would a legitimate movement to argue for limiting mass migration look like It would exist in a time where mass immigration is causing the…
That's precisely the problem.
Do you support mass immigration of European or Chinese people to Africa until population density becomes a problem?
I loved it. Particularly amazing melt-in-your-mouth croissants for breakfast and delicious huge (almost apple-sized) strawberries bought by the kilo. And the art and architecture, of course.

I’m guessing that you didn’t read the Wikipedia article. Here’s the direct quote pertaining to appearance. “Renoux indicates that Japanese media, magazines in particular, often depict Paris as a place where most people on the street look like "stick-thin" models and most women dress in high fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton.” Your personal biases made you assume the previous commenter strictly implied race/color.
> and i’m not talking about size Was what OP said, so I think it’s reasonable to assume they weren’t talking about size.

Please leave your hatred for Israel out of this. Israel is extremely multicultural. All signs are officially in three languages. The population is 20% Arabic, and 60% of the Jews there come from all over the middle east and Africa.

All those people of Algerian descent surely aren't there by chance.
I could be wrong, but it is my understanding that it was a deliberate policy of the French government after WW2 to invite them in. It is also natural that French-speaking people of the world would prefer to migrate to France. But if French governments wanted to limit migration from Algeria or elsewhere, they could have done so. It was certainly not an inevitable consequence of colonialism.
And now, in Brest, deep down (or west) into Breton (Celt) territory, we have a radical Sunni mosque. And woke Americans lecturing me about it's supposedly a great thing.
