Trevor you are awesome and anyone who knows about the French players know that some of them(betterplayers)are newly immigrants to France even president Macron said as much! you said nothing but the truth

Visibly you know nothing. All these guys were born in France except 2 who arrived as they were 2 years old. They learnt football in France. It is a shame to read this kind of comments from US citizens. US are a melting pot and so is France. Shame on you.

Oprah calls herself "African-American" and the last time I check she was born in America. Do you have a problem with that?
-
Well all the French football players call themselves French. Do you have a problem with that?
-
And Oprah considers herself an American. You’re confusing nationality with ethnicity. Noah is correct.
-
African American isn't an ethnicity. It's an identity. Trevor is ignorant to assume every black frenchman is so because of colonialism. Is every Latin American is so because of colonialism? What about migration in search of a better life?
-
Yes actually Latin America is a product of the Spanish and Portuguese colonialism and the term African American can be an ethnicity and an identity they are not mutually exclusive

Serve them this knowledge!

You just don’t understand anything to France. See what Benjamin Mendy (one of our world champions) has to say about it:pic.twitter.com/7A7D6KHRgQ

Is it that you guys hate Africa that much? Calling them French does not erase the past. I'm sure you call the ones who commit crimes "African immigrants"
-
It's not about hating africa. It's about integration. Naming a citizen by his origins is considered as racist because it would mean that the person has failed to integrate into the society. Now we talk a lot about africa because the overwhelming majority are from there^^
-
I understand, but I think it's hypocritical to fully embrace these ones as French yet the ones who commit crimes and stuff are referred to as African immigrants. That tag only comes up when there's a negative thing
-
It is true John because in the article they state this " Buaga, of African descent, denies rape and is being held in custody for questioning". Did they say that about the World Cup winning team because like it or not majority of this WC side is from AFRICAN DESCENT

Woooooow... Anyway... This tea

I really like Trevor but disagree with him on this one. I think it's problematic how Americans try to impose their highly raciallized views on identity, heritage and culture on other parts of the world where the discourse has historically been quite different.
-
He is not an American citizen, he is an african guy who celebrated his african origin french players.... Are these players detached from their african origin/roots? Are they no longer allowed to identify themselves as Africans?
-
The players should be Proud of their African roots and never forget where they come from. But they are where they were born, raised and educated, they are French and Les Bleus won the World Cup. Simple.
-
No one is disputing this. That's essentially what Trevor is saying here.
-
His initial joke was that the players are not actually French. He's now backtracking for being called out in making a racist joke, all while mocking and building strawmen out of French people who have been making that exact same point.
-
I understand he was joking abt some aspect of the french ppl only accepting individuals from african descendant when they do well! ... Do we agree that those players are french and also from african descendant, and that it's not matually exclusive?
-
Of course we agree. But Trevor mocks and insults the ambassador, and French people in general, for taking the exact same position he stated in the latter part of this video.
-
I am not sure its an insult.. The onlything he said that sounded controversial is when he was reading the ambassador's letter, and said that the reason they are french is cause of colonialism... That part although harsh, was 100% true!
