They (the rioters) are being discriminated against because of geography?
If it were primarily a race issue, don't ypou think they would have been turned away before they even got asked where they're from? The French haven't got much of a history of prejudice, so the media won't play up that side of it - But even still it's not in the minds of most of the rioters like it is in the blacks of the ghettos in the U.S....

The French ghettoes are on the outskirts of the cities and towns.


...and I dunno what season it is - But the weather has been half shit and half okay. Must be spring. freak:
