Re: Now France is probably one of the most racist countries in Europe......not overtly but its always there in the background. For the most part, the Arabs have been kept out of mainstream French life. Like American blacks of the 1960s, the Arabs are signaling they aren't taking it any more.

Well, I disagree: France is paradoxically Europe's least racist country! Clues:

I remember former French PM D. de Villepin, interviewed by JP Elkabach on TV5 (Le Grand Rendez-Vous), claimed that France was already home to 300,000 Malians! Mali is one of the most backward countries of (Saharan) Africa....

To be sure, Spain, Italy and all of "Old/Eastern Europe" are much more racist than France --so much so that... they don't have any nonwhite immigrants at all! Granted, both Spain and Italy, as Mediterranean countries, do have nonwhite immigrants from Africa but those can't expect the same opportunities as their luckier fellows in France....
