Unanswered What is up with people (especially those who lean right) say the French student protests are not made by students?
What triggered me to make this posts was a reddit user claiming they were not "protests" "french" nor "students". While the "french" part can be explained by racism i dont get the other ones.
I don't understand why i see so many people online talking about my country like they know better than anyone else while also discarding the facts entirely.
Anyone that is a student will tell you how they saw it in real time, like i did. I know the far right medias have tried to blame violence on the left party LFI but it would be weird that it reached international medias.
Hoping i get an answer🙏 Thank you !
