This guy is delusional. I was just in France (not just Paris, but in the Midi), and at restaurants, hotels, museums, they will speak French to you, but if you speak with an American accent, they typically go to English.

The tourists from Germany, Russia, Netherlands, Sweden, Japan almost always speak English to the French. Even when the languages are somewhat close such as French/Italian or French/Spanish, English is used to communicate which I always find amusing.

English is the language of the tourist, the financial industry, business, airlines and on and on. At the airports in France but everywhere else in Europe, flight info is in the native language and English on both the flight info listings and over the loudspeaker.

What this guy really should be worried about is that if demographic trends continue, Arabic will be replacing the Euopean languages in 30-40 years

More worrisome is the fact that most all their European women will have been bastardized by giving birth to some half-breed muzzie rug rats.

Well, the good news is that Arabic leads the world in literature
