The French are incredibly racist to African migrants, even by European standards. I listened to an episode of This American Life once where they were interviewing American ex pats living in Paris, and one of their interviews was with a Black American woman who had emigrated because the french were much less racist to her when they knew she was from the US, only to be confused for an African migrant when she became fluent in French. Said that it was basically just as bad as the US if not worse, since the French never had any meaningful reckoning with their violent colonial history.
