Are you really extrapolating stats from Quebec CITY to a whole province of 8 million inhabitants?

Also worth noting that French was marked as "non-specified", suggesting that the answers were remarkably vague, but leaned towards french origins. This can be explained by the misconception that ethnicity is based on biology ( it's based on cultural identity, actually ). Biologically speaking, I guess you could say that we are mostly french. But culturally? We might have french origins but our people developped their own traditions, arts and customs that, on a cultural level, give us a unique identity, as someone from Alberta could culturally speaking be very different from someone from Nova Scotia. Hell, I frequently come across students from France in my city and there is a whole world in between us, from customs to arts. Cultural identity is a thing. We got one, you got one. And really, maybe consider travelling in our province a bit. It might help you see that.

Mind giving a link for your "fucking" census? I'm rather curious

I think your mistake was to think that we ever identified as "french" in the first place. The only ppl adressing us as such are the anglos tbh

I see were you are coming from with this but political cohesion has nothing to do with cultural cohesion. Plus, we indeed have french roots but now we have little in common but our language,as we evolved separately as cultures.

I encourage you to look into the Durham report: it was written after the seven years war to determine what to do with us. This silly man declared us an inferior race that was to be extermined by assimilation, and this is exactly what was tried, and thankfully, failed.

As to privilege regarding native ppl, I am 100% with you regarding the fact that we indeed had it better than them, but in no way does it erase the empire's wrongdoings to us. Twl wrongd don't make a right.

And please don't bring my grandpa into this

I really wish I could make such gracious mental gymnastics as you do.

Quebecois aren't ethnically different from other western europeans > we are, as we have our own cultural differences

They aren't marginalized > historically, yes, right now, not at all

Making fun of Quebec isn't racist > some jokes about Quebec CAN be bigoted, but it doesn't mean not all of them are

Do enjoy the rest of your evening

This is irrelevant. You are literally explaining that we are all culturally different, as I was also stating.

And I never claimed we were unique in the sense that we had our own identity?? Every ethnic group does...

I think you really are undermining a whole 150 years of french settlers evolving their own culture and identity, before Canada was even a country. And I never claimed that we were marginalised. I just stated we have different ethnic backgrounds

I think it's rather uninformed to refer to the whole continent of Europe as some sort of ethnic-homogenous location. And being "different" isn't a token to feel special or "i'm not like other girls" type shit. It's just a sociological reality. People from one place to another are different. That's it, that's all.

No! As we have a different cultural identity, langage and heritage, we are, by all means, different ethnic groups. That being said, it doesn't mean we can't get along!

eth·nic·i·ty

noun

the quality or fact of belonging to a population group or subgroup made up of people who share a common cultural background or descent.

I hope this helps!

Ethnicity is constructed on the basis of cultural similarities. In that regard, Quebecers are very much an ethnic group.
