I sure do see a lot of people here who have zero actual experience of France, ready to pass judgement based on whatever clickbait they happened to read a few years back, after it's gone through a couple of translation layers.
Speaking as somebody who's lived in France, Greece, the UK, the US and Sweden: France is by far the most "multiculturalism-friendly" place of all these. Yes, even more than Sweden.
Like most French people, I'm not proud of my country. But this is something I can be proud of.
(Disclaimer: Some cities are of course less kind to strangers than others; it's not a uniform utopia)
- Dr0Dre 10y agoI beg to differ. My experience was really the opposite. I come from the maghreb region and lived in France for a while. I experienced racism at work and outside of it. If you are arab looking or black, you better emmigrate to another country like UK/US or even germany for a better chance. If you don't you are doomed. For those who don't understand what I'm talking about check a movie called "La Haine". And I agree with you, it might be different in other cities.
