and by the way, I am a French Canadian myself. If you think Rosa and Amy being whitewashed is bad in this. But then again they litterally took people from France to play people from Quebec in an episode and it looked so weird to us..

Fumero had a great response to this that basically boiled down to:

  1. What's the Latin population like there? Are there not Latin actors/actresses who are funny enough for this?
  2. This isn't the actresses fault, it's a production issue.
  3. Amy isn't sexy on purpose!

There are definitely latinos here, but I don't see much on them on Quebec shows. The number of them is not that big though.

I will probably get some hate, but I kinda feel the same way about seeing this than when I saw who played Triss in the Witcher.

I mean you kind of should get some hate considering the fact that Quebec is an actual place with actual people and The Witcher is a fantasy world with literal monsters and magic. >_>

The character was established. Amy Santiago was established, this is not an adaptation, it's a cheap copy.

This seems like a lot more work than just dubbing the actual show into French or something. Why even bother doing this?

It's not even like how the US adpated The Office, since they took a broadstrokes approach from the original and basically made a different show by the end. This literally looks like a copy-paste of episodes and environments, even having the characters wearing identical uniforms.

Honestly at first I thought it would be an adaptation with references from Quebec, it's litterally the same thing.

So they didn't force you guys outside of Quebec to learn French ? Wow I just assumed that all Canadians spoke both.

I only started learning english when I was 12 because my mom hired a tutor to teach me. English lessons in french schools were a joke imo. I barely learned a word

Now that you say that I do remember going to Quebec on school field Trip . And my friends trying to speak english and getting no where. But me with my limited limited limited French I was getting some places. And people loved it when I spoke it like they were at least there is One American asshole trying. Man I wish I could go back. It was so pretty there.. a lot of Asian women in Montreal. And if I ain't typing I am good .

they start teaching it from like grades 1 to 9 but then after that most people opt out, forget what they learned and never use it...admittedly i fell behind quick because i was in public school and they dont teach you until grade 4 there but then switched to catholic school where kids were already learning it since grade 1 so I was already mad behind when these guys were lightyears ahead lol i would just read nintendo power magazines and not give a fuck until i didnt have to take it anymore in HS

We have our kids in French immersion so that way it is truly being taught to them as a second language. My wife and I have also started using duolingo to relearn French so we can have secret conversations among the population.
