French Speakers Too Dumb to Learn Dutch

French-speaking Belgians are too stupid to learn Dutch says Flanders President Yves Leterme. Additionally, he said the country only has the king, beer and a football team in common. Sacre bleu!

From MSNBC:

Language is inextricably linked to politics in Belgium, where about 40 percent of the people speak French and almost all the rest Dutch, resulting in a complex political structure with five separate parliaments.

There are communities in Flanders where 70 to 80 percent of the people are francophone and are expected to learn Dutch, Leterme said. "But apparently, the francophones do not have the intellect to learn Dutch," he told the French paper.

My guess is that the French are too arrogant to learn another language.
