Francophobe Racism on NS

The number of kids hating on Kevin, Xavier, their coach, and the french in general on NS is disgusting.

Lesson: Kevin is a super nice kid. He's living his dream. He's fucking stoked on skiing. He's never been anything other than a stand-up dude in competition. He has a higher than normal voice. He doesn't believe himself to be a gangster. He's the best pipe skier in the world.

Their coach: Greg Guenet. He isn't some success-grabbing nobody- he's a skiing OG that ripped it up with the 3 Phils back in the day.

Mods, you need to start clamping down on what is essentially out-and-out RACISM from these 12 year old hillbillies that don't appear to be aware of a world outside Amurkah.

Wow. I love how my karma was just dropped for calling the OP out on his "racist" comment.

I in no way support bigotry of any sort, and actively try to do my best to call people out for being ignorant of things such as race, sex (little kids being belligerently sexist to the very very few female members of NS), homosexuality v.s. heterosexuality, environmental issues, political issues etc.

Xaiver and Kevin kill it and I fully support them. End of story. I have never once seen anyone saying anything inflammatory towards them because of their nationality, and I can assure you that I would have called them out on it if I had.

I just find it absurd that the OP (or whomever else it was) gave me -k for calling him out on such an absurd thing.

i didn't. i couldn't care less about NS karma.

i think we've moved past the definition of racism but if you wanna keep making that point then be my guest. francophobia, xenophobia, close-mindedness, racism, ignorance, whatever i don't really give a fuck. if you haven't noticed it on NS you're blind, and it isn't cool.

Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race, ethnicity, or nationality are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that ethnic differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
straight from wikipedia!

this time for your benefit, and for the second or third time, i'll acknowledge that racism was not the appropriate term. why not add something worthwhile to the debate, rather than continue to nitpick over the phrasing of the OP like some kind of pedantic parrot, where others have already done exactly that.

so, with that in mind, anything to add?

What I' gathering from this post is that you claim to "not really give a fuck" about what NS says/thinks of you and your thread. However, you seem to care about what NS says about two French skiers.

Now, most of NS's member base is from North America, with the majority being American (I can't imagine Canada being too far behind). Wouldn't Americans favor their athletes over France's? Just as Canadians would favor Canadians over French athletes. When it comes down to it, Europe is the minority in those competitions. Being from North America, I'm going to root for a North American over a Euro. Simple as that man. There's definitely some patriotism involved. My recommendation to you is to leave the thread. You lost the battle, OP.

US Americans have always made fun of the French and the Europeans in general. Don't worry, though. The feeling is mutual.










And I didn't mean this in a mean way. Stereotypes, taken lightly, are more amusing than harmful.

stop being a pussy. everyone gets hated on at some point, you're literally being a classic stereotypical french person by bitching more about it than everyone else. if you're really that pissed go flip a car over and set it on fire, that seems to be how the french get things done when they have a problem.

It probably doesn't have anything to do with them being French. Candide is probably the most respected skier on this site. Probably has more to do with them fitting the "pipe jock" stereotype.

There's hate on NS since the beginning of ski and no-one will escape from it. That being said, the real is : Is there more hate on french people ? I would say yes. I'm french candian and I've compete in USA for the past couple of years. I could tell that there's a sort of misplaced patriotism ( if I can call it like that) that make the americans see your name and down rate you even if you have the best run on the camp. It's not just the judges than the skiers who ear you having a hard time finding a word in english and laugh at you. Maybe it's gonna be the eternal war against french-englsih like skiers-snowboarders.

If this thread continues like this, I will come tomorrow and see 2 pages of "skiers" that can't even do a sw 7, talking shit on me. I don't care, I won't even reply. I've met americans skiers in Colorado who didn't even knew there was french people in America. So before talking shit educate yourself a bit.

Dude, if someone is a little different than the rest of the general population, and on top of that he is the best at what he does, he is going to get hated.

STOP LETTING THE HATE BOTHER YOU.  FUCK THE HATERS.  THERE ARE 100K+ MEMBERS ON THIS SITE.  NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO LIKE/LOVE EVERYTHING OR EVERYONE.

These threads are fucking stupid and useless

Being French, I take offense to Canucks thinking they have it hard just because they speak French, plus their accent is bad.
