Try renting an apartement, opening a bank account, applying for a job, etc in France and you'll see for yourself how racist it can be. I'm Québécois and the French call us their "cousins" and I was treated with that polite go-away smile more than I was treated with fairness. I imagine how hell it must be for Blacks, Arabs and the Roms en France.

Interesting stuff, yes, it was through Saint Dennis on the train that we noticed the amount of black people...
Wow, so this is a very fresh look you've given me for the French & France. I'm gob smacked & open mouthed not knowing what to say if this is the way of France. Sorry to hear this is how you feel & how they are to you & other colored people.
Wondering why they communicate to well to the British, so many Brits feel the same as I do & I can only say how it's been a pleasure to stay in France & stay in the country with what I felt was friendly French open people

While 30 per cent of respondents to the Ifop survey said they are ?indifferent? to the Islamic swimwear, opposition to the garment crosses party lines. Among different age groups, however, views on the burkini strongly differ ? younger cohorts are much more likely to favour the Muslim swimwear."

that's a massive percentage. Although, if stats are to go by, 60% of Britain wanted out & most of that percentage wanted out because they thought the immigrants & Muslims would be outed from the country.
Seems over half the populations of Europe could feel the same about color, clothes & looks. Maybe there's still a huge amount of racism in lots of people, nearly over half the populations
