Well it doesn't mirror my experience at all, at school or at work, but yes I'm pretty sure it does happen. I didn't say there wasn't racism in France, more that the concept of belonging to a definite community depending on your color is probably less present as in the States. The job application problem is a terrible one, as getting a job is the best way to use the social ladder. That's the thing I don't understand, I thought capitalism only cared about money, if an Afro-French cannot find a job, surely it would be be advantageous to hire him, at a slightly lower market price. Still not good, but better than nothing, and once the minorities are in, we can expect the inequalities and hiring problems going away or at least being reduced with time...
