Exactly correct, in fact integrated people have no reason to fear anything. They look as french as the next person. Paris is a city unlike other European cities, Parisians are just that...Parisians. They aren’t necessarily white... I would have no way of knowing “who” is a muslim if they are dressed like a westerner. French themselves, can be of more Mediterranean extraction or more Northern in looks. I know Africans from French speaking countries, who live in Paris and no one treats them anything but french.. because they have indeed become French.
Speak for yourself. The few dozen times I visited Paris between 1970 and 1993 I has no problem recognizing the animals.
Neither did my daughter, who visited Paris every year by herself when she was 8, And who spent her Junior Year attending Paris V at the Sorbonne, and who amused herself by devastating young male socialists in debates. Her French was flawless.
Hell, even the dogs I met in Paris and its suburbs instantly recognized muslims...
Specially an Alsatian by the name of "Sarah..." But that's another story.
