        Trevor is brilliant most of the time, but if 21 of 23 players are born in France, he needs to walk his comments back. We don't refer to the USA basketball team as an African team because they are comprised of African American players.

        The players born in France are first generation immigrants. They know what country their parents were born. you can thank slavery for “African Americans” to not know where their ancestors are from. This comparison makes no sense.

        I think you missed the point that’s why you don’t understand the comparison. Be it FOB or 10th generation, if a player is born in that country, they are a citizen. Slavery or immigration status of their forefathers doesn’t diminish their citizenship.

        @Trevornoah pretty much speaks my mind in this video about the letter. As a daughter of African immigrants, I relate to his sentiments heavily. Once again, no one is denying their citizenship.https://www.facebook.com/BetweenTheScenes/videos/212180896148350/ …

        M. Noah can think whatever he wants, but he has no right to decide who his French, and who is not. Does he feels himself as American or...??? Where are his ancestors coming from? Is that important to define who he is? Do what you want in the US but leave is alone pls 2/2

        Dear sir, there is no such thing as a French ethnicity. There are people of different colors, identities and religions living together as French citizens. We do fight racism and unequal opportunities which are undoutbly real in France, but these are two different things

        This article is kind of a joke. First, how about the author spelling his name correctly -- it's N'Golo. Secondly, Kante was very much looking to also play for Mali, where his parents are from. So he may be French, but he still very much identifies w/ Africa in some way still.

        This actually illustrates the problem. You think staying connected to or being proud of one’s ancestral culture is incompatible with one’s “Frenchness.” The hyphen isn’t a qualifier, it’s a recognition. French people of color have not benefited from this point of view at all.

        It is called "assimilation" in French... I call this a "disease". French culture is "Les Lumières" you know, you have to assimilate with the "greatest" culture or you are an outcast, especially if your culture is considered backward in compare to the French one

        Not at all. The Lumières philosophy states everybody are equal in rights and deeds in our republic no mater who you are and from where you come. That's all their is no such thing as an obligation to respect anything else or leave your culture behind as long as you respect others.

        Read again. I said since the French had the Les Lumieres they think they have to give their culture to everyone, Hugo had this mindset when he wrote about the French colonies. And yes, in France assimilation is real, remember the disgusting "identité national" debate.

        You can't reduce all of us to that disgusting debate. France is 66m people and their is as much good as bad things here. I know every us citizen are not racists and imperialists as your gvt is now. Why would you see us as unique type of ppl ?
