Why is it masculine?
Blancs is masculine because it derives from Latin "blancus," which was a masculine adjective. In French, adjectives inherited their gender patterns from Latin, and "blanc" retained its masculine form. However, like most French adjectives, it is variable: it agrees with the noun it modifies, becoming "blanche" in the feminine form and "blancs/blanches" in the plural. The masculine singular "blanc" reflects the historical Latin masculine nominative singular ending pattern.
