The ancestors of that pussy in Paris built an advanced society with equal rights, education, respect, etc. That's why people born from a French pussy deserve that, while people from other societies do not.

Is it our fault that other people that have had the same hundreds of years to build advanced societies haven't done it? Do we have to literally live worse because of it?

For tens of millions of people that were conquered by, or had democratically elected leaders overthrown by, or had their economies crippled by (US, UK, Russia)

Yes. It is our fault.

You deserve precisely nothing because of what your ancestors did. Everyone deserves the same human rights on the basis of being born human.

People from other societies deserve all these good things too. Uncontrolled immigration may not be the best way to achieve this though.

No they do not deserve anything they and their ancestors haven't worked for. Nobody just "deserves" anything.

A few comments up you're saying the French deserved their stuff because their ancestors worked for it.

Nobody just "deserves" anything [just for being born. Someone has to work hard for everything]
