Yeah, this one rings especially true. But doesn't really explain the destruction in my mind. Then again, I'm also not the kind of guy who throws my controller at my TV if I lose at a video game. The mindset behind self-inflicted violence is a mystery to me.
And yes, France, and much of Europe, has a racism problem. Especially with regards Muslim immigrants. I just wish there was someone (or several someones) in the Muslim community speaking up about the fundamentalism within the religion. As you point out, it's not a small problem. And it's hard to address the racism when it's so easy to point to problems like these. This isn't even abut poverty or marginalisation. It's about religion.
I'm always rooting for the downtrodden in thee situations. I want marginalised groups to succeed and to thrive. It's just obviously not going to happen through even more violence. That's why I find it so frustrating.
