France's first mixed-race Joan of Arc hit by torrent of racist abuse

The French city of Orleans has for the first time named a mixed-race teenager to play folk heroine Joan of Arc for annual festivities, prompting a torrent of racist abuse from far-right social media users.

Mathilde Edey Gamassou was chosen among 250 girls Monday to play Joan for a spring festival marking the victory of the Catholic warrior saint in breaking the English siege of Orleans in 1429.

The 17-year-old, whose father is from Benin and whose mother is Polish, is set to ride horseback through the central city dressed in armour for an annual celebration dating back nearly six centuries.

Who cares? Why a mongrel interpreting Joan of Arc hurts so much some cunts?
Bunch of retards.

What are these people even doing in Europe at all? Having her as Joan of Arc is a sacrilige.

Well, she's half European, why she couldn't be Joan of Arc? And why an Eastern Orthodox Romanian should have a say in French affairs?

I think it's more realistic to hire an actor or actress who physically resembles whichever famous person that they're portraying in a movie role. It's like Elizabeth Taylor playing the role of Cleopatra drew a lot of criticism from people, as Cleopatra didn't have violet eyes, etc.

"She responds to our four criteria -- a resident of Orleans for 10 years, a student in an Orleans high school, and a Catholic who gives her time to others.

She met the criteria.

How would you feel if here in Italy where you lived people made angry speech about a Romenian wich people who hate immigrants here call #Zingaro or #RumenodiMerda being haired to act for Garibaldi at a commemoration.

How would you feel?

Someone may add also.. What is doing a poor dirty and criminal Romenian here in Italy? He doesn't belong here.

Reflect than to what you have written here, and analyze your feelings of my speech against you

You and your speech are full of shit. I would agree that a Romanian should not play Garibaldi, except he could at least look similar to him. I don't care what Italians say about Romanians. I live in Romania and don't have to deal with filthy dagos like you.

No one cares about this. Gerard Butler have been Attila and Leonidas and he looks neither Greek nor Hun (hehe). Jake Gyllenhall was the Prince of Persia, an Ashkenazi Jew portrayed Darius III, Greeks and Romans are usually portrayed by Anglos in American and British movies and no one cares.

I don't know why people care so much about this case. Actually it's just plain and dumb racism. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a SJW, but bothering with something like that is so petty and retarded when your country is being invaded by millions of niggers and your women craving BBCs daily. lol

It's considered as rude and offensive in the English language to refer to black people as 'n*ggers', just like it's unnecessary and arrogant and racially derogatory to refer to Indian people as 'wogs', or to refer to non-white and black people as 'golliwogs' or 'wogs'.

It's like someone inconsiderately referring to white people as 'honkies', 'pigs' or 'albinos'... very rude and disrespectful manners.

You should learn some polite and considerate mannerisms.

Also make the effort to do the maths and research before making such exaggerated and sweeping statements.

There's less than 2 million black people in the UK population actually.

Here's the maths:

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Population 2016: 65,648,100 (More people than all the Nordic and Scandinavian nations populations combined!)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom

I did the maths calculations below of the amount of people (as an actual figure) from the % figures.

UK ethnic groups:
87.1% White 57,179,495.1 people
7.0% Asian 4,595,367
3.0% Black 1,969,443
2.0% Mixed 1,312,962
0.9% others 590,832.9

Scotland population: 5,404,700
Wales population: 3,063,456
NI population: 1,876,695

England population: 55,268,100 (A small country like England has millions more people than a massive nation like Canada's total population of just 35 million people, and over twice as many people than Australia's total population of just 24 million people total.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England

England ethnic groups:
85.4% White 47,198,957.4
7.8% Asian 4,310,911.8
3.5% Black 1,934,383.5
2.3% Mixed 1,271,166.3
0.4% Arab 221,072.4
0.6% Other 331,608.6

I know a lot of British expats move to live in the US, Canada, Australia and NZ each year, so they're not included in the figures.
