I could hug you!
You will have to go to my journal space & trawl through backlog, which is a pain, but basically:
I live in France. My sorta boyfriend/definitely best friend is French, but grew up in Africa; i lived in Africa too.
The BF is widely regarded as a waste of space, looks drop dead gorgeous but appears depressed as hell & uncommunicative except with me.The world tells me to dump him. Sometimes i agree. Mostly i don't.
Online penpal arrives;so does a casual friend, viking (the BF) loathes both & goes into glum mode. These people *can* squeak French but won't do so. I end up getting very angry & tell them it's rude to ignore someone 'cos of language issues. Viking says "I am a ghost, a white, french ghost, i don't care; i am pretending to be depressed; it's easier & politer than telling them they are boring"
They tell a joke, in English. It's a racist joke. Instantly, before i can go ballistic, viking calmly says "ah ouais, c'est une blague belge hein?"
Give that man a million Brownie points.
