So where did all those people come from, and why did they end up in projects?
Also, as I recall, the French leadership was saying words along the lines of
they're scum. Doesn't sound like they were too enthusiastic either. Can you
explain why the French leadership pursued multiculturalism if they had no
intention of welcoming them into their society?

You dont know how silly you sound, Irene. Berating me for being incorrect and
misinformed when right below is an analyses of French multiculturalism
published by the United Nations. You obviously didnt read it, but you kept it
in the note you posted. That the French have pursued multiculturalism is very
very very (to borrow from Geary) well known, but you might have to crack a book
or a journal article or some other report to know that. . The leaders, the
people setting the policy established France as a multicultural nation (read
the UNESCO report), but as I wrote before, the common people, the French man in
the street, never accepted it. Therefore, multiculturalism didnt work. It
didnt work in France. It didnt work in Holland. It isnt going to work
anywhere, and yet this is a great Liberal ideal. I have followed
multiculturalism for years (as Ive written before) both here in California
where La Raza is the multicultural concern and in Europe.
