Thank God for Omar Sy though, but one person can ofcourse not counter all representation……. Also know as the ostrich approach. This article summerizes very well every aspect of the cultural gap between France and the US in matters of racism. In that sense, it is very interesting from a french point of vue, and really bad from an american point of vue. Indeed, it is one-sided in the arguments but also the choice and analisis of the exemples. But this is not a majority. I trust a lot more the people who are capable of admiting it.
A lot of French people might think that there are too many immigrants, but this has nothing to do with race. Actually, you are the one that is being racist here. The crapy magazines and movies you mentionned are not representative of the french medias and art thanks god. I agree that the representation of black people is not as common as it should be, but still it is there and it is a lot less stereotypical than in the US.
Yes, the medias show some frenchy black people, but note that a lot of black people are like this in France. Accept the idea that African Americans are a cultural group if not several just as the French read French cultural group, not French nationals , and that black people can relate to one and not the other. Cultural groups have nothing to do with races. This is how the French think. Neither are French-fashioned black women a bad representation of black people.
This sort of rejection, whoever it is directed to, is very racist to the French. Yet, once again, I admit that some people have trouble making the difference between integrating people and forcing them to live by their standards. Though integration is way more achieved in France than in the US. It shocked me how racial groups were a thing in the US, and how racist people could be when praising their own group.
How can you claim to be a melting pot when everyone sticks with its own? I saw racist bullying at school for the first time in the US, as well as police shooting children down because of their skin colour. But you guys are living the dream, uh? You cannot compare france with the us. It has more to do with being european native and non european.
While african americans live in the usa since , arabs, africans, asians a recent newcomers post ww2. The same situation is in germany where you do not see any non german in the corporate sphere, and there was only one turkish party leader of the green party and a viatnemese secretary of state adopted by middle class germans.
So agree as an Black American living in France…thank god it is Marseille :p. Wonderful sharing on my FB page! A great article! As a Frenchman but also as an African.
In my country, in my France may be the worst thing you can do because it reminds people the atrocities they committed during the slavery era. This first step is paramount to avoid more socials issues. Great article! It really made me realize my ignorance on the topic of race relations outside of the US.
There are issues yes. After all the stuff was paid they asked me to push the cart out of the shop and load all in the car. This brought many many years ago when my Italians parents immigrated in Switzerland and were treated close to thieves. France changed a lot since the 19th century, and mostly because of the racial attutudes promoted by anglos and americans.
In there even. Thomas Dumas was more powerful than napoleon when they reached egypt. Like Liked by 1 person. The French are the most Liberal yet openly racist out of all Western European nations. Le Pen came close to winning the presidential election in , he ran the French National Front a racist party in the UK that helped to form the neo-Nazi Skinhead culture. In an article last year in French Cultural Studies, Montague's argues that French nationalism has become a way to delegitimize discussion about race-based institutional equity and black political agency.
Beaman has conducted interviews in Paris and its surrounding suburbs for an upcoming book, "Citizen Outsider: Children of North African Immigrants in the French Republic. All of her subjects are upwardly mobile, second-generation immigrants who are North African in origin. Pre-existing research, she says, focused on the first generation of immigrants. Duke postdocs Jean Beaman and Dena Montague are providing new research about race and ethnicity in France. She said she found members of the second-generation French North African middle class -- identified by their higher educations and professional accomplishments -- to be more cynical than most.
I hope my research speaks to how marginality in France is not just a class thing, but imbued with racial underpinnings," Beaman says. I had the privilege of being an American -- yet I always carried a copy of my passport. Montague says it creates "a sense of otherness even though many of them have not been back to Africa and only speak French. It is not uncommon for blacks in France to identify more as French than as black. It"s a struggle for them to talk about their racial identity, or to even consider the idea of a black community.
Slightly more than half When we compare these numbers to , a few trends become apparent. The percentage of French people identifying as non-religious has exploded in the past 30 years, from The other trend is the increasing Muslim population in France. This is higher than the estimate from Institut Montaigne, and would be the highest percentage in Europe.
The Muslim population is expected to continue its growth in France due to migration, conversion, and high rates of natural increase. Immigration has become an important political issue in France, and this will likely continue moving forward. Like many of its neighbors, France represents a huge attraction for immigration and when statistics were released in , it was reported that Exact figures in relation to this are slightly hampered by the fact that it is illegal for the French state as an entity to compile statistics when it comes to race and ethnicity.
The large discrepancy in the birth and death rate shows no signs of narrowing and as such, it will be fascinating to see the results from the next national census.
During the Middle Ages, France was home to a quarter of the entire European population. This changed in the later centuries, more because of the growth of surrounding nations than a population decline in France.
