It is a technicism, really.

I mean, people identifies as all sorts of random stuff and we entertain their ideas. I am willing to accept that a guy who eats snails and garlic and crepees and holds typical French values is more French than a "technically correct" frenchman who doesn't.

That also works in reverse - it is hard to accept somebody as French if he advocates for genital mutilation, hanging homosexuals, and banning pork, even if he happens to technically have the nationality, because those are not values you associate with Frenchmanness.
