...Or French in general? Our country, which is one of the most important and dominant in Europe's history or the World in general (wheter you butthurt antifrenchs there's on this board on a daily basis like it or not) is also one of the most complex states in Europe.
I mean, pic related are the ethnicities of "native" french people... As you can see, it's pretty much "le 56%" of Europe with Celts, Latins, Germanics… Also through history, it is known that French people got a lot of people of Portuguese, Polish or Slavic descent that migrated here… Let's not talk with the even more recent wave of Africans or people from Antilles (due to former colonies or current departments) that migrated here for generations and eventually blended here... Long story short: it's a mess.
So how Jow Forums genuinely define "Frenchs" or "France" in general? Is its own ethnicity, or is it part of Germanics, Latin, Celts… or other european people? Is it just a country from Europe or as our 5th constitution claim, a transcontinental country all over the world (Reunion, St Pierre et Miquelon, Les Antilles, Polynésie…) What's your take?
French are kind of unique, but I see them as Latinized Celts with some Germanic heritage as well. They are a real people.

Gods...I hate Gauls. My grandfather hated them too, even before they put out his eyes. Did you think I'd be out here on the frontier without good reason? Yes, Rome needs a strong frontier. No, Rome doesn't need unwashed barbarians at her gates! So, that's why I'm here, the leader of the Julii: to bring Roman order to stinking Gauls. Revenge? That'd be good too. This war against the Gauls won't last long, and when it's done, I've got plans. This is all about power, power in Rome. Going down that road means dealing with all my rivals: the Senate, the Greeks, those Carthaginian elephant-riders, the Scipii and the Brutii families too. After all, the man who controls Rome rules the world...and one day, I will be Emperor.

French is a person who governs by Versailles or Élysée Palace and pays taxes to Versailles or Élysée Palace.

Just like you'd define german or irish. The native people of these lands, that's it.
Some african whose parents moved from Algeria to France before he was born isn't ethnically french and never will be.
It's complicated though because the mixing doesn't seem to stop and soon it'll be hard to find native french/spanish/german/whatever people in their own lands. So what will happen when "we" become a minority in our own countries? The words "ethnic french/spanish/whatever" will lose their meaning and the jews will win.
Before my grandfather's grandfather was born, this was our land. These are our good places; our gods live here, in the trees and the rivers. They watch over us. We are happy: we hunt, we love, we have families, homes, a good life. But sometimes we must fight! The Romans disturb the gods; they burn the forests; they take what is ours, wives, children, land! And the Romans talk of how they will 'help us and protect us'. They put us to sleep with golden promises: when we wake, all that we had is gone-stolen! They take our sons and turn them into little Romans. Gah! So we fight to keep what is ours, what must stay ours! There can be no peace, no peace with Romans, men of stone, and iron, and lies! There can be only war!

>Is its own ethnicity, or is it part of Germanics, Latin, Celts… or other european people? I guess. But because of its geographical position it was a land of transition for almost all the major internal migrations in Europe: Celtic tribes, Celtiberians, Germanics, Greeks, Italic tribes, Scandinavians... Though overall I guess the French are more Celtic than anything else.
Dominic Perry
It's already set in stone and you can't remove or add new races or cultures. French are the people responsible for building the centralized kingdoms and republics in that geographical area.
We can all agree on the fact the native people of these lands should be named after the country name ethnically speaking… but what the fuck do you do about that: This is the real perception of France as of 2018. In that case, If we talk about your definition of a man being a part of a country ethnically, then any of those people all around the world in blue are De Facto French since all of that is the French soil… With that said, how would you define French or France? An European Country or a Worldwide Overseas Country?
It stays on "nuclear Holocaust" for me unless Brittany is allowed to restore their culture

those butthurt anti French are the same as those anti American or anti German or anti Anglo They are shareblue faggots here to divide and conquer

A union of the natives that formed a single polity that mixed and formed a state, the overseas the same unless they arent of the original mixture, everyone knows what are Jews this deconstructive shit is a jew tool to make you view your mother the same as a fatima.
Xavier Anderson
But only southern French/ brittons are Celtic, Franks were a Germanic tribe and almost half of French territory was German under the HRE like Franche Comte and Lorraine
Oliver Cox
Having a bunch of colonial possessions doesn't make French identity any less coherent. The problem is France cannot admit that the overseas departments are colonial relics because of Republican dogma.
Alexander Anderson
The Frank's didn't completely genocide and displace the Celts in the north. They merged and created a new identity.
The Franks were never the majority in Northern France.

Caucasians with a Christian background who are native Francophones and natural born citizens or the direct descendants of people who meet the above criteria. Occitanians, Norman’s, and other Language de Oil or whatever the fuck it’s called get grandfathered in. Bretons, Catalans, Basque, and Germans do not.
Name one flaw in this definition. You can’t.
Most Europeans are 56%ers of various ethnic groups. Migrations and conquests happen all the time. Hungarians, Turks, and Finns are basically cultures created by being conquered by Gooks. The Romanian state was basically founded by a Hapa dynasty. The first Bulgarian kingdom was founded by people from the Caucuses. Italic language speakers who founded Rome and usurped the racially Mediterranean Etruscans were Indo-European migrants as were the Greeks who usurped the Med Phalangians (Or whatever they’re called). The Boyar class in Russia and the royal family were of Scandinavian descent and marriage with petty German princesses were very common. Turks imported millions of white people and filled their entire Jannisary class and harems with Slavs and Greeks though the Devshirme system and did some raping in the Balkans and totally BROWN’D Albanians. Med Romans heavily colonized England and created beady eyed Anglos like Mosley. Half the fucking English language comes from Latin/Norman descent. Etc etc. Cultures die all the time, this time Europe’sjust going to assimilate into the mulatto Muslim homosexual way of the future.

what a disgrace you are French subhuman,shame of europe! Libya is ours and your pedophile president is a loser remember these words french fuck.

Jeremiah Davis
I didn’t create the English language bruh take up your issue with Merrim-Webster.
France is a brand made by various Dictators during the time (Charles the Great, Louise XIV, Napoleon etc.) They just colonized and assimilated Germans, Celts, Dutch, Mediterraneans to the French nation. Plus 1789 happened: nationalism, education, human rights were formed so France became a nation state. This nation state's started to collapse via mass migration and islamisation during the past 20 years and it's accelerates right now.

Maybe France is just a shitty country and not even Gypsies want to move there.
90% of Americans have never even seen a real gypsy. The only person I know who has ever had an interaction with a gypsy was a cop, and I live in a major city and work as a bartender meaning I deal with thousands of people every year and never once seen a gypsy. If they’re out there they sure as fuck keep to themselves and because American police don’t punish pickpocketing with a slap on the wrist and state funded rehab they can’t do what they do to you frogs. Pickpocketing is basically not even real in America.

Also you never provided any criticism of my definition, Charles de Negre Sable
The vast majority are romanized Celts. Niggers, Sandniggers, and Kikes(im looking at you op) are not welcome.

France is like most nations in this regards to be honest. Most modern nation-states are constituted by wildly varied variations of semi-related peoples. It's a bit of a shame that on this board, as a reaction to leftist internationalism, people are so willing to discard these and immediately go to the assumption of "everyone in this macro-group is the same."
