What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

Why are people of mixed race seen as more attractive than non-mixed-race people?

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

There's no way Republican Trump won all seven swing states. How was he able to cheat and steal the election?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
