12699159, you do realize that you're using "they" with reckless abandon, right?

there is no monolithic french "white" viewpoint. You have hard line right xenophobia,
you have hard line left socialists - and a wide spectrum of political theory in between
and beyond those paradigms. Alike, there is no monolithic french-muslim view - there
have been well documented responses that span the gamut in terms of perspective on this issue.

I mean - i get it. It's fun to placate generalizations around and get rowdy for the low-hanging fruit - but this debate is begging for nuance that you could give it.

But as it pertains to the hard-line Le Pen xenophobe faction -- yes, I agree. What they - and all French white nationalists don't understand - is that you can't just engage in colonial projects and then expect not to deal with the emergence of multiculturalism at your own doorstep - and the manner in which they are flunking on integrating a respectful culture is disastrous - but that's just one faction in France - and you know it.
