RACISM
In France, foreigners which provoke the worst reactions (antipathy) are the Maghrebins, especially the Algerians. In the various countries of Europe Gypsies understand rejection. As for anti-Semitism - this is a sentiment which endures. Today racism is commonplace. One doesn't have to apologize any more for being racist. One simply explains why he has become racist. Schools, trade unions (associated movements) and the church all have a role in the fight against racism. Particularly in this awareness of the exclusion of the other, it is something in ourselves that we exclude. How can we accept the other if we can't accept ourselves? | |
