That was a joke, though in retrospect I look like an idiot. 

It's really hard for me to tell the line between my schtick and me.  Even for me.

Which has this in the very first line:

QuoteCircassian beauties is a phrase used to refer to an idealized image of the women of the Circassian people of the Northern Caucasus.

In your defense Squeelus, I think Quebecoise are insanely hott, and as everyone knows they are from Breton stock.

Queequeg

I thought they were mixed with a bunch of other Northern French types?

Also, agree on Quebeckers.  Mariee-Jozee Croze was one of my first intense celebrity crushes.  Also, Caroline Dhavernas :wub:

If so, I'm sure they were suitably repressed types.  :sleep:

I am not sure what you are talking about.  Royal France was a bastion of tolerance and freedom.

It was a jab at Squeelus' bizarro comment about hott repressed French ethnic groups.

I dunno - Quebecois are faily hot, but I always chalked it up to how they dress / carry themselves, rather than anything genetic about their face or proportions...

I am contractually obligated to fire back at any anti-French comments out there until Zoupa returns.

Are Quebecois a bit more native-influenced than most European Canadians?

Not that I'm aware of.

I have to admit though that I consciously decided not to post in your fairly racist "what people look the hottest" thread, but I was tempted to say "Metis"...

I don't think I've ever met a Metis, but you've said they were an attractive people previously.  Aren't they kind of mixed French-English-Scottish-First Nation?

I very much doubt they are more so than, say, Saskatchewan.

They are svelte and they have rockin' poopers.
