I notice that on several blogs where this story (about which I posted yesterday) was discussed, many people seemed to misunderstand what happened, and who the 'players' were.
Some people at AmRen were posting the usual Francophobic slurs (and I notice at least one comment of that nature has disappeared, probably deleted). But nobody stepped up to say that the Bretons are Celtic, and have their own nationalist movement. I suppose to many Americans, any White person in France is one of those 'frogs' or 'surrender monkeys.' This kind of ignorance and true xenophobia is embarrassing for America.
I am not sure how much the Bretons identify with France, or how much they consider themselves living in 'occupied' territory. I do know they have a varied assortment of nationalist groups there, some of them more leftist or socialist after the fashion of the other Celtic nationalist parties but they also have a right-wing nationalist party.
