Re: ...the French have de facto segregation. That can be even more dehibilitating than the in-your-face kind. But the comparison can be misleading. Generally speaking, it's a smaller problem than the American race problem. Beurs are less visibly different, discrimination against them tends to be on the basis of class rather than race, and when they assimilate into society (or make a pile of money), they're French, period. [...] Message 21865236 As Ch. Caldwell points out, segregation in Europe is also a SOCIAL/CLASS phenomenon --only compounded and blurred by its additional racial dimension.... White Frenchmen, like most other Europeans --but unlike Americans-- tend to discriminate and segregate between them on a class basis. Nepotism and endogamy still make up the rule when it comes to carving up society's spoils. Unlike the US, Europe's pecking order based on race AND CLASS doesn't allow of rags-to-riches stories --no matter their hues.... Gus
