French people are busy hating on themselves.
I’ve heard about French people hating on people from Paris so since Ive ment French people during my exchange/foreign semester I tried asking them if they really hate people from Paris and they confirmed it for me.
All non Paris French people hate on Paris French people lol
I liken this to people’s irritation with NYC-philes - the ones who think the universe revolves around NYC, to the point when even on the west coast, they refer to it as ‘The City’. And so much of Paris is radically more inwardly-celebrating-cosmopolitan, diverse yet oddly intolerant uptight? - than the smaller cities much less the countryside, I think I can grok their irritation.
Having only visited twice in my youth, certainly no expert.

This sounds similar to most dutch people silently hating people from Amsterdam.
Silently??

I bet the politicians are thankful for a successful class stratification system
Paris and the rest of France are two different countries that are racist towards the other.
