Pardon my interjection to the topic but 38 is not very old either. A 38 year old born in 1982 is an older millennial, not old enough to be a boomer and definitely not old enough to have attended the type of finishing school my retired old headmistress likely attended, the type of that teaches elocution and other similar practices. Yeesh, you're making it sound like the DP ought to be a grandmother already.

My point was that 38 is not too young for her to have completed private tutoring or a finishing school. If she did that she could have started as a teen and been done with her finishing training by age 20 or so.

I don't care if she did or not. Either way, she seems classy, poised, intelligent, good at public relations and is an attractive woman.

Are the Quebecois not from France, a prominent country of Western Europe?

And then, are they not primarily from Northern France?

Yes but if you read the whole thread it is also mentioned that a significant proportion have at least some indigenous admixture.

Also a French English or Irish...not sure about Scottish mix seems common. Can't find stats but I know a few Quebeckers that have that mix.

He was born in Montreal (or one of its suburbs) to two parents from the Portuguese islands of the Azores.

Many Azoreans have some Arab or African admixture, so they often look like dark-skinned Mediterraneans.

I guess I got him confused with Jacques Derrida.

No, not necessarily (or technically), if you go by the definition of the word Québécois and the ethnic demographics of the province's past and present. There are plenty enough people in Quebec who identify as Québécois and have French as their mother tongue, but they don't all have their ethnic origins in France. Quebec originally had a Founder Population of around 2,600 people from France and today about seven million Canadians (along with several million French Americans in the United States) are descendants of these original 2,600 French colonists. Also there was a significant indigenous admixture contributing to the Quebec Founder Population.

Does he have an affinity for Sumatran coffee?
