France has always been Racist to all minorities to uphold elitist views. You can not deport Roma people they are dispersed across all of Europe and call whatever country they are born in home.
this is not that simple.
i am living there since a few years now.
i didn't see any racist behavior in the street, in public.
there is need of explanations.
French governement is very unpopular here
so don't mix "French people" and "French government"
French government did a big mistake with pointing a particular communauty: roms. europe was right to remind it.
since a few years it could be seen that they opened the parking boxs to steal the money inside, they beg in the streets and transport, they attack people to take their money. it is a communauty that is not like tzigane or other travellers. that what they think (personnaly i don't know but i saw a lot of times them steal the money of parkings)
the minister of interior is quite racist it is true but what he wanted is give them money to go back romani but everyone knows they come back here
it is their only way of survive?
about the problem of burqa: it is only burqa . not scarf. already explained.
about the problem of quick : indeed nobody never thought here of forbiding the quik hallal. so what is the hell of these journalists outside who want to criticize this country based on bullshit story?
French are people who have own culture, mostly sophisticated
that cannot be summarized to racism
there is still this old mentality that they didn't accept much difference than laic system (anti religious people they are many here)
racism is a terrible world: it means people from a race (if exists) let'(s say from a country are discriminated: no job no opportunity in life
it is not true: whatever is your origin you can make a company you can work hard
the problem of France is mostly his government having some people inside who believe that to win the next election they need to show they can get the votes from people who usually vote for nationalists
because it 80% chances that next government be socialist
Sarkozy is the most unpopular president since the 5th republic creation
