MrT5 was a 2nd generation American of French Canadian ancestry-most of his relatives still lived in Quebec. They were the most ethnically snooty people I’ve ever met, but since I’ve never known any French from any other country outside of the US, I have no idea if they were that way because they were Canadians from Quebec or whether it was because they were ethnic French...

Many Basques also live in France, in La Cote Basque, in fact. They run the smuggling operations in the Pyrenees. And yes, mon ami, les québecois, they can be quite .... how you say ... snooty? But usually not, if you speak excellent French, are an exceptional hockey player, a rigorous Catholic, and hate all Canadians who are not from your neighborhood in Québec city. Other than that, they get along fine with almost anybody.
