Have you ever been asked, “So what’s your background?”
And if you answered with, “I’m Franco-American.”
Most likely, you’ve gotten this response:
“……what is that?”
This is what I hear every time I am asked this question. No joke.
Even in New England, the term Franco-American is unrecognizable among many people. Which is funny, because our community used to be well-known for their work in the textile mills back in the day; say 50+ years ago.
