- sorry to burst your bubble : most of the mixed people will be seen as black people, or will be attached to the black people group in europe TOO.

 

That is not true, imo. I don't even remember anyone calling a mixed person "black". And I also have been to France many times.

Where I currently live we have a huge black community and another gypsy community. It is irrelevant if a mixed guy hangs out more with people of  a certain race, they'll always be mixed.

the main difference between NA and Europe is that you have a lot less HATE between the group in Europe compared to NA.
This is du to the historical difference between Na and Europe :

NA : white and black living together in 1 territory : racisme +  segregation + slavery : big hate/injury/violence

Europe : mostly white people, very few black people, black community is more recent
(historically black are in the colonnial empire and they only recently come to Europe territory) 
: racisme but no segregation and no actual slavery in Europe territory : less hate

Yes, there's a lot less hate in Europe, which is also why there is less need for an individual to forcefully identify himself with a single race, in order to fit in.

That is soooooo wrong.  On so many different levels.

For one... the difference between White and Black employment in the UK = the difference between White and Black employment in the US.

OKI

Now when it comes to France's unemployment levels for different races... let's just say it's MUCH worse.  When you can find the numbers anyway.  Since they tend to play "colorblind" laws.  As in, the government doesn't consider you a different race... even though everybody else does.

I like how you basically said it is much worse while you are not able to provide any number in your comparaison.
I also LOVE how you fail to realize that black people in France (metropole) were close to nothing before 1950 and is mainly du to a very recent emigration from Afrika. While black people in NA are a VERY old population that has fought for her right generation after generation. One could expect the later to be much more integrated and accepted in the country. Also, since these black population are mainly newcomer in France, there are usually "poor" and EVEN IF they have access to the same school and teaching, they usually do not success well in class (bad environnement, violence etc ...) and, sadly, do not have access to so many jobs and fail to be recruited just because of their scholar  failure.

Also, since in France we have yet to have a law forcing people to employ black BUT we have law protecting people from not being employed because their black, we do not use the completely unfair and racist quota system ...

When it comes to Civil Rights laws... usually the US is ahead.

 lol, more free claim

I mean, ask yourself this shio.  If Barak Obama was just some unknown guy walking down the streets of ANY europeon town... and someone were to go behind him, and ask the nice "non racist" europeon people in the streets.  "Say what race was that man right infront of me."


What do you think they would say?  Black... or "Half-white, half-black".  In the US we're just a little bit more straightfoward.

Yes, same goes in Europe (outside portugal ?) and NA. that, we agree.


At the end, I wonder what was your point ?



Time to Work !
