It's not our fault, we find quebec accent really funny. I had the same problem. I lived 13 years in montreal and when I got back in france they all maked fun off me. Untill I understood and answered by the worth jokes I could find... they stopped right away.

My town is 15 hours by car away from Montreal!
And I do NOT have a Montreal accent!
I am from Paspebiac, Quebec. In the Gaspesie region!
And if you know anything about the Gaspesie, we are notorious for speaking differently and the people of Paspebiac are famous in the Gaspesie for speaking differently then most in the Gaspesie.
Now I love Montreal and I lived there for 2 years. But I am NOT a Montreal'r. And furthermore you are still a True Frenchman. You said so yourself, "When I got back." These means you were always from France. That makes it your peers that poking fun at you.
Try it when they are strangers doing it.
Add to this that it would appear that every True Frenchman of France appears to know Montreal and Quebec City. They are quick to argue that I must not be Quebecoise because I don't sound like a Montreal'r.
And there are so few people in France that will bother to listen when you try to explain that Quebec is roughly 2-3 times the size of France and aproximately only 6 million people in the entire province. There is alot of room for dialects to develop independantly.
As for my husband. It would appear that many people here don't even bother to want to acknowledge that Acadiens exist. The moment he says a word like " L'fun " they treat him like the dogs dinner.
No one, absolutely no one enjoys being laughed at or made fun of. Especially when there is nothing you can do to change the way you are. I can not change the way I speak no matter how hard I try.
Again I state I love France. But there is a very ugly side to many of the
True French people. This "arogance" or "point and snicker," as evidenced by you post, is part of that ugly side.
So I guess I won't be hanging out with you anytime soon. I'll stick to the Arabs and Africans.
