One in seven French people admit to being racist and many have prejudicial views of immigrants, homosexuals, blacks, Arab and Jews, according to a survey released on Sunday.
A poll by the BVA institute for two anti-discrimination groups found, for example, that 30 per cent of the French agree with the idea that Jews have more influence on finance and the media than other groups.
Almost as many, 28 per cent, think that Arabs are more likely to commit crimes than members of other ethnic groups, a number that has more than doubled since a similar poll was conducted last year.
A significant minority of the French, 15 per cent, admit to being "rather or a bit racist", up one per cent on the previous study.
Almost half of respondents, 49 per cent, thought that immigrants are better able to exploit the social welfare system than are the native French, and 12 per cent said homosexuals were more obsessed by sex than others.

Everyone is racist...it's natural.
I guess they must be oui-oiu’d up.
This should surprise anyone? They are, after all, liberals/socialists, who are basically the most racist people on the planet.
Not racist as all - it is called tribal.
Reality: One in seven French people admit to being racist and many have prejudicial views of immigrants, homosexuals, blacks, Arab and Jews, according to a survey released on Sunday.
Way to go, Daily Telegraph!
Everyone is racist...it's natural.
Yep, as unnatural Political Correctness meets harsh Reality, crashing and burning in its wake
I like NASCAR, does that make me a race-ist?
Peoples attitudes towards others may be reflecting reality not necessarily “racism.” “Racism” is the word used by people to express their dislike of someone’s words or deeds. For example, if one arrests a black for rape and murder the arresting authorities are labled “racist!” The term has worked to date as a means of social control. However, the term may be losing its effectiveness; something the idiots using the term failed to take into consideration.
Racist article that implies you must be a white Christian to be counted as French, AND that blacks, Arabs, Jews and immigrants cannot themselves be racist.
And when did "homosexual" become a race?
“One in seven?” Well hell, nine in ten Americans don’t like the damned FRENCH!!
28 per cent, think that Arabs are more likely to commit crimes than members of other ethnic groups, a number that has more than doubled since a similar poll was conducted last year.
I think Eric Holder need to talk to them about this, maybe thats why he went there!
Almost half of respondents, 49 per cent, thought that immigrants are better able to exploit the social welfare system than are the native French, and 12 per cent said homosexuals were more obsessed by sex than others.And, of course, it is self-evident that there isn’t possibly the slightest factual basis in any of these beliefs…
Besides, the French hate everyone, so this whole study/poll is a moot point ....
I find it interesting that no number is submitted to refute this belief, apparently you are just supposed to accept that Arabs don't commit a disproportional amount of crime in France. But what if they do? Is the belief then "that Arabs are more likely to commit crimes than members of other ethnic groups" still "racist"?
So, then, racist = aware?
99% of the rest of the world thinks the French are rude.
WHAT? I THOUGHT ONLY WHITE AMERICANS WERE RACIST?
Those first two items look like recognition of reality. I guess observing reality is racist now.
