I´m asking this because I´ve seen claims that the french may not consider the Portuguese as "White".
However, I would believe that they have a better view on the Portuguese than the Arabs.
The Portuguese and the French speak relatively similar Romance languages, and they both are catholics.
French aren't people who think into race because the five last decades erased that from our education by force. Portuguese are seen as european by everyone with a functional brain but they can be joked about especially because it's more politically correct to joke about them than a protected minority like the africans. Most jokes are about portuguese being hairy or working into masonry.
If we have to go by stereotypes then they are known for being hairy and as bricklayers something like this :

"The Portuguese have no problems with us or with the French because they are our cousins. The Portuguese community in France is well assimilated into our society, respects the laws and our way of life, the Portuguese love France, are workers, do not create any problems and are my friends." - Marine Le Pen

More important is what Portuguese in Portugal think about the so called portuguese emigrants in France, who we call "vacances" or "avecs" xD
As far as I'm concerned they can stay in France and never come back (at least 90% of them), they are basically a national embarrassment that we have to endure year after year on every agonizing month of August. Annoying as fuck with their stupid tuned cars, olive oil fashion sense, lack of manners and a verborrhea Wich is unintelligible both for Portuguese and also I believe for the less suburban French. Most of them are undoubtedly hard working etc etc but as whole highly caricatural belonging to a subculture that doesn't really exist in their "home" country.
Anyway France is nowadays a country with one of the very worse suburban-ghetto subcultures in the World, I live in a very touristic area in the south Portugal and around here they don't allow groups of French youngsters (unless is a group of women) in the discos/clubs, as it almost invariably ends badly, they provoke fights, use drugs, vandalize, drink like crazy then refuse to pay and similar animal behaviour.
By frennch youngsters, you means french of portugueses descendants? or arabs and africans?Quote:
