This was the traffic police who shot someone in cold blood in the head during a traffic check.
Leading to massive riots, young Muslims parading the streets with contraband firearms to intimidate the native French, and in one case, chopping off a poor Frenchman's hands with a machete. Countless acts of arson, burning the library in Marseilles, billions of euros in damage.
These were not spontaneous riots. They were organized in advance, awaiting only a "triggering event" to launch attacks in every city and town in France.
The French have an accumulation in the banlieus of immigrants and accumulation of integration problems in that area. In my opinion, the French have an integration problem more than in other Western European countries. Other countries in Western Europe also have this, but less so.
As France goes, so Europe will go.
Sobriety is in order and not that exalted ethnos stuff, adding fuel to the fire. I don't like such snide behavior. What is ethnos in your case? We are all ashtray breed sir.
I am an American who happens to want to see Europeans survive in their ancestral lands and continue forward with their unique civilizational destiny. Whether Europeans do so in their current national configurations, as unified empire, or broken into smaller states should be up to them.
"Sobriety is in order" -- No, the immigration policies of the past 50 years have been sheer madness (if not nefarious design) and that was obvious to anyone with eyes from the beginning. You sow the seeds of chaos, war, civilizational breakdown, and then you have the audacity to say, "Sobriety is in order"
Again, mass immigration was imposed from above. Nobody voted for it.
As for the US, it's a more complicated situation. If the new world could be considered in isolation from events in Europe, I might say that it should be open to populations from throughout the world. But given that ancestral European territory has been compromised, we need to hold our ground where we can.
Mexicans can go back to Mexico, Indians back to sovereign India, and the Chinese back to sovereign China. But if Europe goes under, will European-Americans have anywhere to flee to or shall they meet the fate of a stateless and despised minority?
To answer you ad hominem question, as an American I'm a typical mix of various European ethnicities, including Southern Italian (and in my case that component likely contains some small fraction Punic or Levantine from 2000 to 3000 years ago, or perhaps Saracen admixture from 1000 years ago, and no, it doesn't bother me or make me feel less European).
