Racist Attacks on Minister Prompt Soul Searching in France |
|
"Is France Racist?" was the recent headline of a leading French newspaper, after a far-right magazine compared the country's black justice minister to a monkey. The incident has triggered soul searching in France, where the far-right National Front is ahead in some polls, and figures show a 23 percent rise in reported racist incidents last year. Henry Ridgwell reports for VOA from London.
