Yesterday I noted that the
NYT had referred to Muslim mass murderer
Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel. as "a Frenchman of Tunisian origin." I objected to the word "Frenchman" in this connection as
I have since before 9/11 when the
Guardian was talking about
Gang rape on rise among French youth [By Jon Henley, May 3, 2001] They weren't French youths, they were Africans. (Some of their victims were French—i. e. white.) Well, the latest "Frenchman" turns out to be an immigrant from Tunisia.
