Gustave, news.yahoo.com

"In his speech to parliament, Villepin said jobseekers with foreign-sounding names do not get equal consideration as those with traditional French-sounding names."

I think what France (and the world) needs to do, is require a statistical measurement to assess if discrimination is permitted within corporations. This is what US Walmart is undergoing in the US court system today - where the court system is finally just beginning to consider for the first time the permission of a class lawsuit allowing the use of presenting the statistics that show if a corporate entity is permitting discrimination (a bunch of well-qualified women were denied promotion because "the man that got the promotion is the family's breadwinner", etc.)

Basically, it's time corporations get to the next level, where the statistics do the talking about whether a corporation permits bias or not within its boundaries. Statistics don't lie.

(Of course, I think corporations should be permitted to counter sue the school systems and the guilty family members of where this stuff is actually fostered.)
