That's unusual. I've never seen that level of racism in Paris. My friends are Korean, Black, Arab, whatever ... and I don't think I've ever seen the Korean picked on in a racist manner. It's like the Indians and Pakistanis in the UK, because India was part of the Empire, they're British citizens through occupation and now they're just British. In France, the Vietnamese were subjects of the French colonisation efforts, so they've been part of Paris for generations, same on an even larger scale with the Algerians and other north Africans.takashi said:
It's unusual to see racism, especially when it's all about religion now.
ps. Yes, there are racists, but it tends to be against the Arabs in the suburbs.
Nonetheless, generally the people are quite nice, especially the one in the hostel that i'm staying (near the train station).
