Institutional racism in France

FT
Gérard Larcher said multiple marriages among immigrants was one reason for the racial discrimination which ethnic minorities faced in the job market. Overly large polygamous families sometimes led to anti-social behaviour among youths who lacked a father figure, making employers wary of hiring ethnic minorities, he explained.

“Since part of society displays this anti-social behaviour, it is not surprising that some of them have difficulties finding work ... Efforts must be made by both sides. If people are not employable, they will not be employed.”
This is in fact an attempt at minimising the responsinility of the government. However, it is evidence of racist attitudes among France's politicians. It is also a mark of disrespect to the French people, as it assumes we are a nation of racists.

  1. It's utter crap is what it is. It's like when white Americans say that blacks face no discrimination (a majority say this), yet they also say they believe that blacks are intellectually inferior (a majority say this, too). Efforts must be made by the racist side to stop treating people unjustly.
