10% of France's population is Muslim and usually comes from regions that were under direct and brutal French rule not even half a century ago. The Algerian war of independence killed 100 000's of Algerians. There are huge racial ssues in france, it's just that they are swept under the rug or blamed on the minorities themselves.

If the US had a similar policy/attitude towards minorities & the historic prejudice they face, you probably wouldnt even have a debate around the racial implications of voting laws. The minority is expected to step up and do the effort even if it's unfair.

It is interesting that you said that history cannot be dismissed right after you basically dismissed the historical implications of French policies because... it's just the past and what happened before doesn't really matter?
