White Culture Worshipping

I recall before I went over to Paris for holidays, I was warned repeatedly by friends that the Parisians would ignore you if you do not speak French. The French think that the world should kow-tow to their superior Gallic culture and history which supposedly give us democracy. Rubbish, by the way, since we should thank the Greeks or even the Romans for it instead. In any case, I braced myself for the worst and armed with a few broken French phrases (like Bonjour and Merci) I went to Paris to face the dreaded French.

It turned out that the French people were nice. But it was the French-speaking Asians, who had settled in Paris, who looked down on us non-French speaking ones instead.

Those white and black men in Paris treated me normally, like a tourist of course. If you ask for directions in English, like on the 1st day where I was hopelessly lost, the white men would point you in the right direction without looking down on you. But it was the French-speaking Chinese that turned their noses up at Asians and treated them like beggars. Whenever I asked for an Asian-looking Parisian for help in English, they would always mutter something and walk away hurriedly.

It is not the white men that we should detest but those Asians who worship their culture blindly.
