Can a Eastern European or Balkan European - GYPSY Immigrant become "French"?

[Mortimer]

There are black french or maghrebi french but can a GYPSY?

Lets say instead of austria in 1990 i went to france, i learned fluent accentfree french and manners, like i did in austria, like i act like a austrian and sound like a austrian, yesterday i talked on WhatsApp to a Australian man, he said i do sound strongly austrian-german, now lets say i would be in france, could i be considered french? In Austria its a bit tricky, you can sometimes be considered austrian, if you are long in austria or born eventhough you are of immigrant background, but often also most who are not ethnic austrians will remain more or less "foreigners" but maybe france is a bit different because its a former colonial empire, and citizenship nation, austria is not a citizenship immigrant nation.

Thanks

You really want to move to France or what? Do they pay more generous handicap pensions there or other welfare?

Traditionally speaking, I would say no.

I would also say no in terms of any measure that actually matters (genetics, inheriting traditions, etc.).

But given that the French long ago decided that being French is just about what passport you carry, sure, why not. Get on that sinking ship if you want to.

Obviously for a racial nationalist it would not be possible but in france there is even a far right northafrican jew who even white nationalists accept so its more complex i think but what do i really know

A honorable way to become French.

Can a foreign legionnaire become French?
Yes. A foreign legionnaire can apply for French nationality after three years of service. If he serves well, he will be entitled to a residence permit at first, the nationality will be given to him conditionally. This is generally granted, subject to having a good way of serving and having proven its willingness to integrate into the French Nation.

They will teach you French there, they have a very good learning method.

I'm not a racial nationalist. I just think someone should be at least partly descended from a nation AND at least partly raised in the culture/language to be able to call themselves a person from that nation. To me this would include mixed race people and those raised with multiple cultures and languages. But in modern times it doesn't really matter I guess.

I think i agree though with you but there is also something great about potentially becoming whichever nation you want or feel like
