>>187323>but it is about race. The French were many people before with many ethnicities and cultures. Today France is a single nation, but with people looking very differently.
France isn't a nation of immigrants, it's a nation of expansion and integration. A little empire. People don't care about the race of each other. This isn't an issue. Well, they care if this is related to another culture. For example, they have nothing against French blacks from the Caribbeans but dislike people of the same race from the Horn of Africa. Same thing with Arabs, Christians from Lebanon are liked in France, but other Arabs of the same race, Muslims, for example in Syria, are disliked.
Against, for French it's all about culture.
