In a bus or a metro carriage, some seats are reserved for disabled people, pregnant women, old tired people. If the bus is full, you can’t use those seats.

We do have chicken in the countryside, but they don't run everywhere, or else a fox, a dog, a bird of prey or a car will soon kill it. In towns, there are nearly none, because of the noise they make.

I keep watching a new video hoping to see an ad before the video starts. Need to start getting that cash in! Kudos!

Despite all the good things I say about France in terms of racial diversity, there's one act of discrimination that rather superficial and non-violent that I face often, even on zoom calls. That's the language. In France, they pressure you to speak "The King's French." For me, I speak Canadian French as a second language, despite being from the states and never have been the Canada. This is because my teachers were Canadian. I often get teased a lot because of my Canadian accent. At least not in a threatening manner, thank God! However, when talking with a French national, I often get corrected or called out on when using "frowned upon" Canadian style grammar or more loosely using "Tu" instead of "vous" or "on" instead of "nous". This is still nothing compared to the violent racism in the states though.

While I'm a mixed African American, I was treated 85 times better in France in General. It had nothing to do with me being American as most Americans tell the big lie stating that the French are rude. Not a rude sole when I went. My grandmother went too. She's darker skin. Still same treatment. I also had a few African colleagues who lived in France. They too, agree with me. To further clarify the truth of the matter, we need to differentiate the difference between De Jure (government imposed) and De Facto racism. France doesn't have and never had "de jure" racism. They never had disenfranchisement (i.e. literacy tests at polls). They never had laws like "Jim Crow". In other words, France never directly infringed/oppressed the civil and human rights of their civilians in the form of legislation; however, De Facto discrimination exists more globally, including in France. Unlike the US, however, their De Facto discrimination is not and was never influenced by any past events of De Jure discrimination. It more has to do with individual personality. Just who likes you and who doesn't. No countrywide culture like the US. In the US, most acts of racism came about as slavery was being dissolved an abolished. This is because the slaves were no longer in their government defined place and the fact that it was ultra race based. Also, French colonialism is very irrelevant in this context as I'm primarily discussing mainland France. Victims of colonialism were never allowed to be trafficked into the mainland. Also, France more so owned up to their wrongs and granted most of their colonies their independence. Lastly, victims of French colonialism were not French citizens. In the US, the situation is almost opposite. We have to understand that American racism was not legalized, but mandated. Legal just means, no laws against the act. Mandate means that the act in question is enforced by an individual against his/her will be a person/authority regardless of the legal state of the act. Secondly, laws like Jim Crow were not targeting slaves as slavery had already been abolished. Unlike the French, the US never gave it's freed slaves any self-governing independence. Instead they made them citizens and their descendants citizenship at birth. This was not actually a good idea. This is because Lincoln didn't actually free the slaves. If it was him, there wouldn't have been an underground railroad. In other words, the slaves freed themselves, bankrupting their masters. So, instead of freeing them, they made them citizens, using their newly granted freedom against them (i.e Vagrancy laws). This is how mass imprisonment began. Don't forget the 13th Amendement doesn't protect prisoners from Slavery in the US. It was also done to make leaving the country difficult. All Blacks in Mainland France self migrated there; so, if they didn't like it, all they had to do is head for the exit. Racist laws in the US and South Africa were unique among other democratized nation with racist laws as they infringed essentials to life, such as freedom of movement, voting,, public accommodation, freedom of assembly (interracial marriages), privacy rights (Loving v. VA), and freedom from bodily harm. France also lacks racist organizations like the KKK. There was never a time in Mainland France where the government imposed racism akin to the US against their own citizens. Fun fact. During the worst days of Jim Crow. African Americans who were more fortunate enough to leave to country, fled to France to escape racism. I would recommend reading about James Baldwin.

@Ajachukwu hello Aja, please I am writing from Ghana. My daughter has been invited for pre-admission interview at the University you attended. Please do you have any video on what likely questions asked during these interviews or could you kindly share with me the questions you were asked during your time please? 🙏

Thank you so much for this informative video!I hope you read my comment. I was trying to find some informative videos of the Crous dorms which located in Belfort. I will be doing my Erasmus in the coming semester for 6 months in the UTBM (Universite de Technologie de Belfort-Montbeliard). I know that you didn't study there but have you had any friends study there and what do you think about the school? I really appreiacate cuz I have no one but you to ask about the city and the school. Thank youu 🥹❤

I love this

Hobbies >>>. I have always limited myself in terms of hobbies. I always stuck to reading novels or watching films. This year, it’s like a whole new world was opened to me and I discovered several hobbies that I never even thought of. I love the concept of hobbies. This life is so hard, we all need something relaxing from time to time. Hobbies are fantastic, I highly recommend.

“One cannot hate oneself into self improvement” Yessss, I 💯 agree. I admire your consistency Ajachukwu, I’m rooting for you so bad, you have no idea 🫶🏾🫶🏾

God gat you 🙏

Always complain about the white, the racism .. bla bla bla. So if we are so bad , go to black African countries. Always lying, pretending to be a victim. It’s more than enough. France receives so many migrants each year and give so much. What do we get back ? Just criticize and problems.

This video seems to be reaching a wider audience almost 3 years later and while I’m grateful for the different observations and opinions. I’d like to reiterate a few things: 1. I had made this video 1 year after living in France so I’m very much aware that there are seats reserved for Elderly people. It was not the case. The woman who wouldn't let me sit next to her was not seated in the reserved section and the person who had left the seat was visibly a young lady around the same age as me. 2. I did not at any point state that it is definitely racism. I said I was not sure if she was scared of Covid, mentally ill, or just outright Racist so it baffles me to see comments about me playing the victim. Thank you to everyone who’s been respectful with their comments.

Quit calling racism at every opportunity when there is obviously not Grow some confidence and learn to live with yourself instead of playing the victim, Geez so annoying

J'aime beaucoup le montage de tes vidéos !! Tu rends vraiment Paris "Esthétique" Merci grâce à tes vidéos je m'améliore en anglais, et ça fait fu bien de changer de pdv voir une expatriatrier parler de la France.

Tu devrais envisager ,de passé le permis de conduire ! C'est une autres total liberté de circuler avec sont véhicule. Partout quand tu veux! Merci bonne chance.👌

Cant stop staring at your eyes..keep up champ

Do you require NYSC certificate if you ain’t applying for scholarship?

I think the reason the woman didn't let you sit down is that on the bus or metro, certain seats are reserved for the disabled, pregnant women, war wounded, the elderly or adults with very young children, when there are a lot of people on board. It is also forbidden to use folding seats in the same circumstances. These rules are not always properly translated and explained on the bus, and the seats in question are not always easy to spot.
