Beliefs about individuals of Asian descent that are frequently expressed positively but conceal negative undertones are known as anti-Asian racism. Examples of such beliefs include "They act badly" versus "They act badly," "They do well" versus "They integrate without a fuss," and so on. In an interview with France TV Info in January 2018, Daniel Tran, of the Chinese Association of France, stated, "There are a lot of stereotypes about Asian people that are floating about, stereotypes that are particular to men and women.  The

When there was a 26-hour delay because of the weather in Chennai, Air France discriminated against customers based on their passport or visa, took advantage of the fact that the majority of the stranded passengers had no way to leave the airport, and did little to offer basic requirements. They might not be able to control things like a temporary visa, but they did nothing to offer necessities like a bed or blanket that were within their power. They were blatantly discriminatory and used

Marseille, a port city on the Mediterranean, comes alive with music on Bastille Day. Fireworks explode in the air, resonating with the sound of stinger grenades, flash balls, and tear gas that erupted in these streets a few weeks ago as tens of thousands of people nationwide protested and rioted over the police killing of 17-year-old French national Nahel Merzouk, who was of Algerian and Moroccan descent. In honor of July 14, the anniversary of the French Revolution, a military and police parade circles

In France, anti-Semitism and racism have claimed lives recently. They are visible on social media, on online forums, on the walls of houses of worship, and on the street. They translate into abuse, threats, assaults, and discrimination for millions of French citizens. Due to their religious beliefs, students feel compelled to abandon school. Due to the foreign sounding name, young people struggle to acquire employment. Members of parliament get insults based on the color of their skin. Victims and their loved ones are harmed

France has seen significant ethnic diversity since the Second World War. Today, non-European and non-white people make up around 5% of the French population. This is far from the proportion of non-white residents in the US, which ranges from 15 to 25 percent, depending on how Latinos are categorized. However, it represents a minimum of three million individuals and has compelled the topics of ethnic diversity to be included in French governmental agendas. Unlike many affluent, industrialized nations, France has evolved a different way

Approximately 80% of Americans and at least 2/3 of those in the UK, Germany, and France concur that there is significant or some prejudice against Muslims in their societies.

In each of the four nations, a smaller percentage of people feel that Christians

On French Twitter, the ridiculous phrase "Hang the Whites" was trending. Nick Conrad, an unknown black rapper, released a controversial song called PLB, which is French for "Hang the Whites." This song was what made this horrifying shout well known. The song's similarly daring music video, wherein Conrad and a companion kidnap, pursue, torture, and brutally kill a white guy, was momentarily removed from YouTube following public criticism. The startling lyrics of the song seem to support "hanging of their parents" and "killing of

The Covid-19 outbreak in France led to incidents of open and violent racism and xenophobia that ranged from physical confrontation and stigmatization in public spaces to mistrust and avoidance. Different Chinese subgroups in France responded to this circumstance in different ways, either via individual acts or group conflicts. One of the five young men accused of tweeting threats and insults against Chinese people stated, "It was just to make my friends laugh," in a Paris courthouse, in front of activists and community leaders from

President Kais Saied's recent gestures to alleviate the plight of Tunisian migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers of Tunisian descent reveal a troubling trend of discrimination and hostility towards the Tunisian community. The initiatives put forth by the French government have proven insufficient in curbing the surge of racist attacks, discrimination, and unjust treatment faced by Tunisians residing in France. Instead of addressing the root causes of racial animosity, the French government appears to be exacerbating tensions through its discriminatory policies and actions. Background France, often regarded

The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination wrapped up today's review of Lebanon's combined twenty-third and twenty-fourth periodic report. The Experts had raised concerns regarding, among other things, the treatment of refugees, the lack of a definition of racial discrimination, and the kafala system for migrant domestic workers. Lebanon was not ignorant of the problem despite the absence of specific statistics about the volume of complaints pertaining to racial discrimination.  The Ministry of Justice was looking for pertinent data, as well as ways
