you can't assume his origin, he could be French born.

I didn’t report that I also tag in ALL my Cannes images:

French Europe European EU, plus other repeating tags…

…so although not in order someone searching, say, “French North African”
or “European North African” will get my image included.
In US, it is common usage: Asian American, Black African American, etc.
Are you thinking worker is NOT of North African descent?  Why?
North Africans are largest minority in Cannes, AFAICT...

Just a suggestion Jeff. I class you as the expert with your collection compared to mine.

 

I had this argument with a friend a while ago, on the difference between nationality and ethnicity. As an example, say I had Chinese parents, but I was born in the UK and I'd never been to China. I might get a bit annoyed if someone labelled me as an Asian. I take your point in your image that the likelihood is that they are of NA ethnicity, I wouldn't care to speculate as to their nationality.

 

I took a bunch of pictures at London Pride recently. I normally label images as having a man or woman in them if it's a single person. The Pride images, I just labelled as 'person' - didn't want to mislabel someone...

I'm thinking it's more likely to be telecoms than electrical, bearing in mind the size and colouring of the cables (could be wrong though,!). Telecoms, telecommunications, underground utility, buried utilities, drawpit (the chamber), inspection chamber

Can you make out any text on the 'person'hole cover? In the UK there's usually some reference to what lies beneath, at least on the newer equipment such as internet cable.

Behind the person there are two pillars that look like those hydraulic traffic bollards that sink into the ground for buses etc. then rise again immediatly the bus has passed in order to catch the idiot that tries to tailgate the bus.  Maybe summat to do with them?

The box he's working on is a FIST GC02 Fiber Optic Splice Closure.

Here and here and here.

He's using a tool to split and connect fibre/fiber optic cables.

So possibly worth adding?

fibre optic engineer

fibre optic workman

fibre optic technician
