oh yeah, for sure racism is a problem in France. I was more thinking about austerity, for example, which they constantly riot over, but the two leading politicians are pro austerity as far as I know.
I think it's mostly that the socialist parties leader is unpopular. He got caught up in some corruption and said something akin to, I am the state. So people don't like him. If there was a more popular socialist leader mac and pen would have more stiff competition.
French people are still white people. They can be just as racist as Americans.

Right wing populism can thrive under austerity. It may not fix things, but it garners support.
