The moive “A bras ouverts” – with open arms – is rightly seen in France as being racist. Many articles on this topic, and on the stereotypes.

Romania – Really?

Published by:

An article is a perfect illustration of implied racism against Rroma… This time, be cause – surprise – a Rrom returned a wallet with 1’300 EUR to the police in Arad. Implied thought here is that “normally” Rroma would have stolen it, hence the newsworthiness.
When you think about the corruption of the country, it seems that Rroma are small fishes at most if (and not when) they ever steal.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Apart from the controversy following an interview of the actors of Clavier’s film, not htat many news in France on the Rroma.
First, an article on the impact of the expulsions on school attendance by Rroma children. Clearly, these expulsions do nothing for integration. Then, near Paris, protests by Rroma in Ivry, following their expulsion and the lack of alternative lodgings; the story of the “insertion village” in St. Genis les Ollières near Lyon; some questions on travellers’ sites in the North of France; near Nantes, 120 expulsed Rroma moved to another site; a protest in Fontaine, near Grenoble (where one FN politician suggested one should take the Rroma’s golden teeth); Rroma asking for a reprive in Nice until Easter; and finally, an association defending Rroma in Toulouse.

No comments, apart from the fact that the movie is so full of clichés that it is a shame. No one would have dared to do it on another minority.
