Or maybe we should treat the French they way they treated us in the 1770s and early 1780s. Sending their sons and fathers to the colonies to die side be side with colonists against a common enemy.
Sure, and maybe we can enact "slave reparations" while we're on the topic of the government deciding policy over things people did two centuries ago, rather than how their descendants behave today.
As for me, find me someone alive TODAY who was forced into slave labor on a plantation, and find me some brave French royal who sacrificed selflessly for american independence, and I will be more than happy to compensate them. But since all those people have been dead for centuries, I don't "owe" their descendants a damn thing.
