Just so I get this clear my question is racist ? You want me to close this before it gets out of hand ? I was just asking a serious answer here :(

Read again.

Wouldn't that be xenophobia, being French isn't a race.4
EDIT: Just to clarify, OPs question isn't exactly xenophobic either.

Agreed. Title should read: "What's with this race/ethnicity/culture and some obscure stereotype my internet buddies fabricated?"

ouch!

Ahaha ;)

Haha, good one.

I am a bad person, 'cause I laughed at this =)

;_; (stolen from you :p)

Actually, I loled at dat WWII joke... XD

That was actually funny.

Ah, and there we go. I figured the obligatory "they give up" reply was in here somewhere.

yawn Looks like someone found Grandpa's favorite joke in the basement.

dude I was totally gonna say that. :D

"je me rends" (I surrender)

Example

Cracked me up! :D

Napoleon would like to have a word with you

I lol'd :D

XD

Seen it several times on SG forums ;)

Yeah don't know if you heard of Stephano for example (Sc2 player)

Stephano says.. so yeah.

That's pretty smart :)

Boom boom...LOOOOL

they don't have to speak your language to communicate with you, i mean you have the same option, right? how about you learn french.

Most of you guys can't speak English very well

Implying you know all french people on the web...
I don't pretend being bilingal, but I'm perfectly able to write/speak ingame at least for basic exchanges. And what about people who thinks everybody speaks flawless english ?

Moreover, we always talk about the low level in foreign langage for french people, but do you really think it's different in other countries ?
I worked in the Orsay Museum, 99% foreigners, how many weren't able to speak to me english or worse, spoke me spanish/japanese/russian/german/other as if I should know those language...

Yeah heard that too.

And hairy and you burnt our vegetable trucks ;_;

Travel south and try to be noisier than us.

Actually it can, it's called genetics.

Then why are there so many gold medalists runners from Kenya? Genetics itself couldn't do anywhere NEAR what we've seen from Kenya at the Olympics throughout the years, so the cause must be social. The land itself of course doesn't do anything, but in Kenya, for instance, there is a culture that glamorizes and rewards runners. Therefore more people will attempt to be runners. This means that instead of a population of 300,000 where 2% of the population is interested in running, they have a country of 50,000 where 20% of the population is interested in running (numbers used merely for demonstration and are not correct). So even though Kenya has a smaller population than others, they actually have a larger sample size for runners because of the way their society treats running. And with a larger sample size there is naturally a larger chance that one of those runners will be 'the fastest'.

Now: how does all that apply to the French gamers? Well I don't know but I would assume that gaming is not as popular a hobby in France than it is in America or perhaps other European countries. So because they have a smaller sample size of gamers, they have fewer 'good' players. So the odds of you running into a French player who is good, is lower. Not all French players are bad, and there is nothing MAKING them bad, it's just you are less likely to play with a good one because of the smaller sample size.

I totally stole that Kenya thing from somewhere an I can't remember where. Some genetics class probably. Anyways that's part of the reason stereotypes like this exist: societal pressure.

Taun taun?

should be "german players" ;)

But yes, many german players are aggressive. But many americans are aggressive, too, especially the little kids in CoD... ;)

Aber ja, leider sind viele deutsche Spieler aggressiv. Aber die kleinen amerikanischen Kinder in CoD sind da nicht besser :I

Just because the most germans you see in games are below 12 years

Je suis d'accord avec ton mon pote, encore de minables rageux... bravo et vive la france

I WRITE IN BOLD LETTERS.

You know, not all of us are retarded... and by that I mean most of us behave as if we were. :<
