Wearing a burkini would get you in trouble in France, I hear.

  > Wearing a burkini would get you in trouble in France, I hear. No, these city laws have been struck down by a higher authority. You can't wear a burka or a niqab though I still see women wearing that stuff in Paris suburbs, granted in places where 90% of the population is muslim and no non-muslim would dare live in.

    Ssh, the worldview of half of hacker news depends on believing that such neighbourhoods in Paris, or any other European city, are inclusive and tolerant, as opposed to the violently racist attitude you find there in reality. After all immigrants good, "that" religion good, it's all the fault of Mr. Trump, capiche ?
