Bonjour, Ladynade! I agree with the prior post that, generally speaking, Arabs and Muslims seem to suffer most from prejudice and racism in France. My personal experience has been phenomenally positive. Being black AND American, I had major trepidations before coming to live her with my daughter, now 17. Perhaps the super warm reception is due in part to the fact that I married a Frenchman and so gained not only a husband but all of his friends and family as well. True -- this could have turned out the other way! But I live in The Gers, in Southwest France, where the Brit invasion has taken on phenomenal proportions but where the "natives" are known for their tolerance, good old-fashioned manners, and laid-back attitude. I don't know how things would be in other parts of France, or in the bigger cities, but for the last two years, my daughter has attended a French school. Her race and nationality have given her something close to celebrity status. Best wishes to you and your family.
