They (the rioters) are being discriminated against because of geography? I thought they lived in France. The suburbs of Paris and such. I see this as a race issue because if it were happening here in America it would be a race issue. People of color against the establishment. It's ironic that a few weeks ago the French newspapers were calling us racist because of a hurricane, and now their country is burning because of their xenophobic nature.

On a side note, it's spring in NZ. Is the weather nice?
loool nice change of subject happy:
