So you're saying they're justified in their behavior, plus insinuating that I'm racist.

"So you're saying they're justified in their behavior, plus insinuating that I'm racist."

Neither of those things.

I am saying that the situation is comparable to the United States in the 1960s, and that the solution you suggested: that French Beurs emigrate from France because the rest of the French treat them very badly is akin to suggesting that black people should have emigrated from America in the 1960s because American whites treated them very badly.
I think that's a bad solution.

I think that what needs to happen in France is what happened in America: white people need to be forced to accept their co-citizens, by punishing them if they engage in acts of racism. American whites and business practices did not come around because of the goodness of their hearts, but because of the fear of lawsuits and loss of money.

None of this implies that you are a racist.
It does say that the suggestion that Beurs should leave France is poorly thought out. A country cannot expel its own natives, not rightly. And natives of a country should not be forced to leave because the majority won't accept them. The majority should be forced to accept them.

Of course, if the minority goes on a rampage, they should be forced back into line as well. The government's response in France has not been strong enough. But what is suggested by many here on FR is too strong by half.

Accept it as a given that Muslim French people cannot be, and will not be, expelled en masse from France. Accept it as a given that they will remain, and their numbers will increase over time. That's the reality, and it's that that has to be dealt with. It cannot be realistically solved by programs of ethnic cleansing, whether coercive (government action) or voluntary emigration, because nobody is going to do any of those things.
