Richard Darbois's nationality

[Bad Samaritan]

Richard Darbois is not French but Canadian. He was born in 1951, by the way.

Just for the record, I am not responsible for the note (as well as for the one on Alban Ceray)...!whistle!

It does point up the distinction between fluid 'nationality' and the rather less
arbitrary 'country of birth'.... and a single term seldom suffices; I always think
of archetypal Brits Joanna Lumley and Cliff Richard as 'Anglo-Indian', for example : -)).

You've got that right, jj! Richard Darbois should rather be stated as "French-Canadian". The "Qu?b?cois" won't be pleased, though... !grin!

So... no change there, then : -)

We can re-edit it after a possible secession, when the term Qu?b?cois signifies a nationality on its own right.

To them, of course, it already does : -))
The rest of Canada merely speaks French with a VERY strong accent.

The urge to exculpation is one of mankind's most ancient instincts : -))

It rather sounds like a 'sub-national' category to me.

For example, Barcelona is the centre of Spanish porn industry and many porn actors in Spain are Catalans. Would it be legit to list them as Catalans?
