  1. Are they required to hate their native countries?

  2. Is that supposed to be special or something?

  3. There are millions of dual nationals in the world.

  4. They seem pretty peaceful to me

  5.  @watermelonman3651  The people in the video look as peaceful as you can be.

  6.  @phoque121  Yes but how do you gauge that "identify as French", you have them read something? You do have rules for both becoming a French citizen and a permanent resident, it's a matter of them fulfilling the requirements or not.

  7.  @theresaaa8346  The premise is wrong since those are not "their countries", they were born in France and are thus French citizens. I'm sure they are more proud about their lineage, which is normal unless you hate yourself, than those countries as political identities

  8. Are you really comparing animals to human beings?

  9.  @mac7040  How did they not integrate, uh? Don't they speak French, work/study and pay their taxes?

  10.  @altayaltnkok4428  Obviously they are.

  11.  @sakamotosan1887  They're the flags of their ancestry, they are likely dual nationals

  12. ​ @bogdar2019 Bro, it's just flags. I can enthusiastically wave a French flag and I'm not French.

  13. Yeah, most people think first about themselves and what's best for them.

  14. The people in the video seem perfectly integrated, no?

  15.  @cmd7930  The flags are performative for the video, as for headscarves, you don't expect people to abandon their religion when they move to other countries, do you? Do Europeans do that when they move abroad? Integration is being a law abiding citizen, not leaving native culture totally behind

  16. You can't surely blame those in the video for that.

  17. What's your concept of assimilation, completely erase their native origins and culture?
    2
  18. ​ @Zzzooooppp Forced conversions? How civilized. Is that how Europeans who move to Asian countries are treated?

  19.  @ceooflonelinessinc.267  Only in the eyes of the radicals.

  20. So what are they?

  21. French is not an ethnicity, it's a nationality.

  22. @AdamEmmanuel2 And what's that "French way" in your opinion?

  23. You don't get to decide on that

  24.  @P.C1999  Economic opportunities. Not that different from Europeans migrating to other European countries.

  25.  @P.C1999  To you even know what makes people move from one country to another? Is looking for a better life a concept that strange to you?

  26. The people in the video were born in France.

  27. Won what?

  28. Wow... keen eye you have.

  29. It's just a flag, it's nothing that serious. Virtually every immigrant community fly theirs on occasion.

  30.  @grogtgs  Countries are not competing companies.

  31. Uh... there's absolutely no problem if you wave the Bulgarian flag abroad.

  32.  @Ab0rt_All_black_pests  Doesn't make sense at any level, we're all of the same species and animals don't have nationalities as far as I can tell.

  33. Wow, really?

  34. What did you expect to see in the video in terms of integration? It's obvious that people tend to hang around with those similar to them, even more when many of the outsiders consider you a 2nd class citizen.

  35.  @ajorfev  Yes but being a YouTube comment section I didn't feel like writing a whole essay on it.

  36. They can be proud of both, it's pretty common among dual citizens. But it would help if most people from the hosting country didn't treat them like 2nd class citizens.

  37.  @irkiel  That's the whole point of the video, to show their different origins, they won't go waving those flags in their daily lives. They were born in France btw.
