I never knew "Parisian" was how to refer to "one from Paris"

Learn something new every day.

To be clear, I just didn't think anyone would refer to someone from Paris specifically (rather than, "French").

I mean, a lot of places you would add "-ite" but I'm guessing that would be a less-than-ideal suffix for this particular city lol

As someone who knows a lot of New Yorkers and Texans, it's definitely curious that people would refer to themselves as from a city versus from the country itself.

Yikes. There are lot of black people in Paris, but they're not necessarily American. In fact, most of them are from African French colonies.

WTF? How do you get from Americans to black people?

There is a trend here of people imagining what you say and then criticizing you for it.

I think this is what they meant by "Paris is unrecognizable from his youth".

Try reading what it says and not what you imagine it to say.
