- Description
One of the 'Jitterati' phones the Alliance francaise to tell them that no matter what happens 'next week' (the final of the Rugby World Cup between the All Blacks and France), New Zealand appreciates French culture, whether it be cheese, Asterix or nasalised vowels. When asked about existentialism, she points out that the Alliance would have noticed New Zealanders wearing black. The conversation comes to an abrupt stop.
Black clothing, a cartoonish stereotype, is worn not only by French existential philosophers and many New Zealanders, but also by the All Black team. In view of the up-coming final, her statement is a faux pas.
Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
