Accurate thread. All team members but one were born in France, which makes them... French. Not immigrants. The expression "second-generation immigrant" (or even "third-generation"!) is absurd. You're not an immigrant if you're born here and have always lived here.https://twitter.com/julienbarbier42/status/1020386816917102592 …

The children of African parents born in France are both French and African, just as the children of French parents born in Africa are both African and French. It really is that simple.

When I was studying abroad in France
(in Angers) in an intensive French language program (decades ago), my teacher confused the whole class trying to explain how someone born in France wasn’t “francais” if they were black, but rather “beur/beurette”. Maybe that has changed?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
