Fr*nch ‘people’ 🤮

(There is a large over exaggerated dislike of the French on Reddit)

I’d say it depends. If there are two people with similar qualifications, the Native Person would obviously be the more qualified due to their personal experience. But a non-native could be more qualified than an individual native person.

In the USA a good example of a bad choice was Ben Carson for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. A disproportionate number of people in government housing are minorities and Ben Carson lived in government housing as a child and is a minority.

But Ben Carson was a surgeon. And not at all qualified to be in his position. He did a very middling job. Not terrible but obviously a better person could have been chosen. It was very obvious that his appointment was done because Trump wanted to throw Carson a bone for his support.

Remember that a not insignificant number of people from Muslim countries that move to USA/Canada convert to Christianity. It’s still an Abrahamic religion, so it’s not that different. But it fits more in with the wider society and has less strict rules. Add in intermarriage which can often result in a conversion at least on paper.

Good example being a friend of mine’s brother. Parents are Hindu from India. Kids are mostly kind of vaguely Hindu/agnostic. Brother married a Christian and converted.
