That’s the same thing in America. Do you think the government goes around rounding up black people into ghettos or something? Segregated housing has been illegal in the United States for many decades.
I don’t doubt it.
but in France, apart ultramarine territories, populations other than white are mostly present since the 1960’s in metropole, whereas in America Whites have coexisted with Blacks and Native since almost the beginning of European immigration.
We also have no racial statistics, so we can’t said “Black people are more at risk than White to have X health problem”. We don’t have polls that divided the population such as “white/caucasian, non hispanic, black, hispanic, Asian etc”. Or “white mainline, white evangelical, black protestants etc” for a poll on values.
Some conversations and open acts of racism that we can heard or see in US would have finished on trials in our country. It is for eg impossible legally to create neonazi, white supremacists or such type or organizations.
There is also no
official racism suspicion among the administration or the State hierarchy.
(for eg, we would not have a president who cultivate ambiguity when he speaks of “chinese virus” for the new coronavirus, and then twit about protecting their Asian population). Sorry to be political, but I need an exemple.
Sure the muslins are the first carceral population, and the police controled more in some neigborhoods some of the population based on their ethnicity (who they look). Which is frequently contested. But we don’t have the same police violence who kill people on such a frequent basis when she tried to arrest people (and people who are presumed innocents or are arrested for small things). We also don’t put underage teenagers in adult prisons for eg.
So there is much more social justice issues in America, with the black are more, deliberately or not victims.
