If you don't believe me then go live in France and just try and do something as minor as rent an apartment. Even if you're white with a suitcase of money you'll find it almost impossible because the French only want to deal avec des Français de souche and preferably those with a certain associated "prestige."

Like I said if you don't believe me then go to France and see for yourself. In fact I dare you.

Mickey Mouse has brought a lot more joy and happiness into this world than Charlie Hebdo's drawings. But just the same I'm not going to give my life to defending Walt Disney's right to draw Mickey. Nor should anyone else.
