I never got this: why do people in France speak an American language instead of a European one?

I don’t get it. How is French an American language? I don’t understand the meme overall either

French is spoken in France and parts of north America. Most people are very emotional about their native language so they feel every deviation of it is just wrong.

The most common and seemingly natural view is that France French is “right” and oversea French is not but honestly it’s arbitrary. OP turned it around and so I did too, eventhough I myself live in a non French European country. Well, we all hate our neighbors and the enemy is my enemy is my friend I guess.

I’ve heard Canadian French is closer to the French France Frenched a few hundred years ago.
