Forty-six percent of French people say they have been victims of racist aggression or discrimination at some point in their lives, according to a broad survey published on Thursday, April 9, by the International League Against Racism and Antisemitism (LICRA), in partnership with the IFOP polling institute, on “the state of racist violence and discrimination in France.” The nature and intensity of their experiences vary greatly depending on perceived ethnic or religious affiliation, but they lead to the same process of withdrawal and disillusionment with France, often prompting some to consider leaving the country.
The publication of this “comprehensive mapping of French people’s exposure to racist behaviors” – 14,025 people aged 15 and older living in mainland France interviewed by telephone between August and September 2025 – comes at a time when the fight against racism and discrimination is at the forefront of national debate, following the election of several candidates from diverse backgrounds in the municipal elections in March.
A wave of racist attacks targeted some prominent figures, such as Bally Bagayoko, the new mayor of Saint-Denis in the Paris suburbs, who called for a rally on April 4. “This comprehensive study allows us to quantify, document, and argue so that this issue is brought back to the political agenda,” said Mario Stasi, the president of LICRA. “This survey demonstrates the massive and undeniable nature of racism in France.”
According to the study, 80% of people perceived as “Black” reported being exposed to racist violence and discrimination – including mockery or offensive comments (25%), insults (24%), threats (14%), theft or property damage (11%) and physical violence (9%). Similarly, 70% of people perceived as “Arab” and 60% of “mixed-race” individuals reported these experiences, as did 39% of people perceived as “White.”
One of the sensitive topics addressed in the study is the issue of “hostility toward Whites” – as the study phrases it – a theme regularly used by the far right. “It is a phenomenon that exists, and we felt it was impossible to ignore, even if, clearly, the frequency, intensity and consequences are not the same as for visible minorities,” explained François Kraus, director of IFOP’s political division. “It would be dangerous to deny the existence of this hostility, but it’s equally important to clarify that it does not have the same impact in terms of discrimination,” added Stasi. “We need to name things clearly.”

Not to be dismissive of serious problems, but I really despise the statistics “at some point in their lives”.
Pretty much anything is bound to happen at least once in a lifetime. It’d be more meaningful to study frequency of events
Well, those damn onion-eating frogs would say that, wouldn’t they?

Some people of my village hate people from the other village 5km away. Just ‘cause.
Not surprising. Almost every single white french person I’ve known (being french myself), had some sort of unjustified prejudice against people of color. Not surprising that it leads to this distrust of white people from the POC communities in France… especially with some of the political figures that can’t even pronounce a simple name correctly or ask for a proper pronunciation of the name, only to ridicule the name entirely afterwards.
Even my own parents. Instead of calling a place a shop, my mother used to call it “l’arabe du coin” (the Arab in the corner) to refer to smaller market shops. My ex used to spout some pretty terrible racist stuff about POCs, and my dad wants to kick them out because he’s been brainwashed by TikTok glorifying Bardella.
I love this country, as without its current healthcare and welfare systems, I wouldn’t even be alive to say anything about it. But man, I really don’t want to interact with the french in general as it often ends up with racist or misogynist remarks that I do not want to be a part of in any way.
We really need to remind ourselves of the core values that brought us to where we are today. Freedom, Equality and Brothership… though I prefer to say it as Kinship instead, because our sisters and friends in the LGTBQ+ are part of us as well. We’re all kin on this Earth. The only limits are the imaginary ones we traced on maps that delineate territories, and those do not change who we truly are, no matter our differences in the color of our skins.
EDIT: Gotta love getting downvoted for essentially giving a personal account of events as a frenchman, and saying “Let’s not hate our neighbours just because they have a different color of skin”. Every single downvote for this is an incrimination of the people we’re dealing with these days.
I thought the French government made it illegal to record race with regard to crime?
lmao that picture. half of french is muslim now
France is something like 80% white, so at least about a half of those reports must have come from whites. What does this look like?
Tout le monde sait.

I had no clue that 50% of French people are black, musilms or Arabs, turks or gypsies..

I a Brazilian a lived in France. I was in a manly north African neighborhood and every single day, they would curse me something against the French.
One day I got cursed for being “French” in the morning and for being a foreigner in the afternoon!
F…ing hell.
Gekt pretty shitty each time it happened though.
So its 50 vs 50?
The power is shifting. Ignore the cuckoos.
