La France? Action affirmative? Non!

"Today the official position of the French government remains one of assimilation. The children of immigrants are expected to absorb the language and culture of their new country so that ethnic and national origins will be irrelevant by the second generation. France is so committed to integration that it doesn't even collect information about the different groups within its population. It believes that affirmative action programs such as those in the United States are forms of "positive discrimination" that reinforce invidious distinctions."
"Mapping Human History, page 178, Steve Olson, Houghton Mifflin Co., 2002

I would LOVE to hear the liberal take on this.
