From the BBC:

...Belgium has seen a number of language rows between the Dutch-speaking Flemish population and the French-speaking Walloons...

Please tell me French speaking Belgians aren't really called Walloons. That's pathetic!

well it's certainly true, but i don't see what's pathetic about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallonia

Actually, to the people concerned here in Belgium it's either 'Walen' or 'Wallons'. Walloons is what the English speakers make of it 🙂.
