I think you can do better than to judge from one admittedly horrible incident to an entire society. Seriously... How many victims of gun violence or police brutality do certain other nations have in comparison to France ?

Sorry but we are talking about racist attacks, just a few days ago I posted an unacceptable racist statement from a french socialist politician, maybe these are early signals but we shouldn't ignore this , otherwise it could be too late ...

I´m not saying this should be ignored or taken lightly. To throw insults around like "Sieg Heil" or come up with nonsense like to compare France to the Third Reich doesn´t show your interest in a serious debate however.
According to your own source the French MP who was quoted as such was immidiately condemned by president Chirac and his party wants to kick him out. Open racism doesn´t boost a career even in France apparently.
Concerning the horrible incident of today the picture is a little different seen from here. What we have confirmed yet is that drunk, right wing soccer fans were attacking a supporter of the opposite team or somebody they regarded as such. This team happened to be Ha´Poel Tel Aviv. It is not confirmed that the guy was even jewish. Later they were also attacking a policeman who came to help this guy apparently because this guy was black.
Racism of a different kind is not to be taken less serious and it is true that France has a huge problem with that which requires attention and action. Next time maybe don´t post Hitler Pictures ( like in the other thread) if you want to actually debate.

Well, Picture was just for taking more attention that it is really a serious problem and taken from an american website. I think when it comes to racism , (yet against to jews) using something reminds nazis as irony would appropriate.
