Aside that, he could have been white.  Just like Picard could have been British.  A French captain who doesn't like wine, drinks tea and loves shakespeare?  C'mon.

That bugs me to this day.  I know Roddenberry initially wanted his captain to be French, but as soon as he cast Patrick Stewart in the part he should have immediately changed the character's background.

The future just realized what the Hundred Years' War tried to teach us, that the best French man is an English man

But yeah, I found that odd too.  Especially when they introduced his brother who was more French.
