Discuss the section - Berbers and discrimination in France
[edit]In March 1990, according to a poll reported in Le Monde, 76% of those polled said that there were too many Berbers in France while 39% said they had an "aversion" to Berbers.[1] In the following years, Interior Minister Charles Pasqua was noted for dramatically toughening immigration laws.[2]
In May 2005, riots broke out between North Africans and Romani people in Perpignan, after a young North African man was shot dead and another North African man was lynched by a group of Roma.[3][4]
The "Hijab ban" law, presented as secularization of schools, and supported by all major parties in the French parliament, as well as many feminists,[5] was interpreted by its critics as an "indirect legitimization of anti-Muslim stereotypes, fostering rather than preventing racism."[2]
In 2010, a poll found that 28 percent of French people think that Berbers are "more likely to commit crimes than members of other ethnic groups".[6]

Irrelevant paragraph about racism
[edit]Why is the only paragraph in "Berbers in France" about "racism" ? It seems this entry was created to talk exclusively about discriminations faced by Berbers in France. In this case the entry's title should be renamed "Berbers and discrimination in France" and should be supported with strong evidences and links as usual. Also the use of the word "racism" seems irrelevant, since many Berbers groups are White (the Kabyle and the Rif for example). I suggest to use another word or to simplyJheronimus (talk) 01:31, 20 November 2015 (UTC) delete this paragraph.
