For all I knew, the video may start that way, then fast forward to the countless black depredations today against lone whites. Maybe as some sort of statement or lesson to today’s people. Lessons could have gone many directions.
It could have been creative.
They address that in a sideways manner in their other videos. One of their videos, also in French subtitled with the lyrics in English, targets French society. The English title directly translates as “A French Summer”. Another video, “Our Celebrations”, doesn’t even need translation; it is an animated video that takes the viewer through most of the West’s post-cold war era, warts and all. My personal favourite is “Kimono in an Ambulance” from 2014; they started with a 5-minte song an used it ass the basis for a short film that serves as a cautionary tale about first-world youth party/drug culture among the middle class. All are easily available on YouTube; just search “Indochine” and open anything with “Clip Officiel” in the title.
As with anything in life, context matters.
