Racism?

Post by Bann »

We are considering moving from Toulouse to the PO area. I have seen the rise of the FN and am worried about possible racism, as we have two non-white children. Does anyone have any personal experience with this issue? All help greatly appreciated.

Never seen any problem here. The FN here are not like the British equivalent and, although they are anti-immigradion, they don't seem to have a lot of racism.

We have some friends who have adopted a coloured child and they have had no trouble of that sort.

I'm sure you will be made most welcome.

Russell.

I would have thought you have much more reason to expect hostility for yourselves than for your children (affluent foreigners bidding up the price of housing etc etc). In practice, as Russell says, you have no reason to worry for yourselves or for them.

The FN poll highly in this region. Their candidate was in the run off for the Mayor. Of Perpignan. However, I agree that this has to lots to do with economics. This department has one of the highest unemployment rates in France.
