Well I'm not an expert but it seems to me that in France we expect minorities to leave a good part of their culture and become "real french", eat cheese, wear beret and never walk without a baguette under their arms, whereas in the US I was under the impression that there's a lot more effort from minorities to differentiate themselves.
I don't think we can really talk of a "black culture" in France (at least not in the same degree as in the US, but I may be mistaken).
I wasn't talking about tourists, we are well known for behaving badly with them, sorry about that.
What shocks me is not that she doesn't feel she has a lot in common with her colleagues, but that she thinks that it's because she's black and they're not.
