Quote by: rmnunez Nono, some have claimed these French riots had to do with things like the prohibition against girls wearing headscarves in school. This French prohibition was perceived of as culturally or religiously insensitive. |
Nobody I've heard (and that would be hundreds by now) has even mentioned it.
So it's safe to say that the trouble was about the far worse problems of chronic unemployment, ghettoization and brutal cops.
And yeah, tough though the fact is for the US mass media (which was having about an orgasm a minute while it lasted), it does look like the trouble has died down, at least for the time being.
