Violent protests challenge French view on race
  + stars: | 2023-07-01 | by ( Joshua Berlinger | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Nanterre, France CNN —What does it mean to be French? That vigorous adherence to equality often prevents the government from doing anything that would appear to categorize French citizens based on race, including collecting statistics. “We’re talking people who have been in France for 100 years or half a century, but are still considered foreigners, strangers foreign to France, even though they are French citizens,” she said. French people often use anglicisms to address issues of race rather than the French equivalent – for example, Black people are referred to as “Black” rather than “noire,” the French word for black – despite the aversion of the francophone world to the rising usage of English in French culture. Workers clear a street filled with charred cars in Nanterre, France, on Friday.
