Okay, okay. Canadians can overreact just as much as Americans at times. We have a hockey commentator here, Don Cherry, who I don't care much for and tend to disagree with most of his opinions, but I don't care about hockey so fortunately don't see much of him. Recently he made some comment about French-Canadian hockey players and visors, and basically how they aren't manly men. He was being his usual idiot self.
Now there are calls for an investigation, the CBC wants to put him on a 7 second tape delay and words like "racist" are being bandied about. Yeesh.
That last one brings to mind a question that's been bothering me for some time now, and Quebec separatists have been quick to toss out that label quite often in the past. Are francophones a race apart from others decended from that general part of Europe? If so, that throws everything I thought I ever knew into disarray.
