A terrible case in France, another death by suffocation:

Not a black man, but as far as I understand racism in France (enlighten me if I'm wrong), people of recent North African or Arab descent are not treated far different from those of recent sub-Saharan African descent there.

Thanks for posting that, but I feel like if it's news it should be in the news thread (as well). Yes it's terrible, and should be more widely known.

I think this thread is useful for a certain amount of navel-gazing, but it's pointless in the wider sphere if discussion of racism becomes corralled.
