When A Frenchman Is Tired Of Indignation He Is Tired Of Life

“The French capacity for indignation is in decline.”
–Arielle Schwab, president of the Union of French Jewish Students, is upset by the results of a recent survey which shows that 15% of her countrymen consider themselves “rather or a bit racist,” and a third of those who do not think they might be even a little racist won’t say anything when the racists around them spout racism. Also among the survey’s findings: “Almost half of respondents, 49 per cent, thought that immigrants are better able to exploit the social welfare system than are the native French, and 12 per cent said homosexuals were more obsessed by sex than others. Meanwhile 28 per cent said they regarded blacks as more physically powerful than other groups.”
