Immigration museum. What do the French think of Asian people? | Ask a Frenchman! First, I wanted to commend you on your wonderful blog! I love returning to the site to see what new information you have to offer us. It’s incredibly enlightening, even for a “halfie” (I’m half French, half Vietnamese) as myself! =P Second, I have a question for you, though I know this might be hard to answer without some generalities. My question: I have visited the south of France (in particular Montpellier) with my family on several occasions.
(asked by PDD from Vietnam) Hi, Thanks for the kind words. Let’s start with the fact that most French people are pretty ignorant about Asia and Asian cultures. Thing is that most French people are very unfamiliar with Asia and Asian people, although this has been getting better in the past few years, partly because of globalization, partly because of the rise of China as a prominent country. Before continuing any further, I think we need to distinguish between different parts of France and different Asian countries and people. Why?

Rates, Characteristics Vary by Race and Gender By Wendy Wang Executive Summary This report analyzes the demographic and economic characteristics of newlyweds who marry spouses of a different race or ethnicity, and compares the traits of those who “marry out” with those who “marry in.”
The newlywed pairs are grouped by the race and ethnicity of the husband and wife, and are compared in terms of earnings, education, age of spouse, region of residence and other characteristics. This report is primarily based on the Pew Research Center’s analysis of data from the U.S. Key findings: The increasing popularity of intermarriage. Notes and Terminology In this report, the terms “intermarriage” and “marrying out” refer to marriages between a Hispanic and a non-Hispanic (interethnic) or marriages between non-Hispanic spouses who come from the following different racial groups (interracial): white, black, Asian, American Indian, mixed race or some other race.

(Or, the social construction of race and the continents) | The Plaid Bag Connection. So the two on the left are Asian, and the one on the right is white? Via Boston.com A few days ago I was flipping through my RSS feeds when this title came to my attention: Asian Guys Arrested in Boston Marathon Bombing The “Asian guys” referred to Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, the two students from Kazakhstan who were charged with allegedly helping Boston marathon bombing suspect Dzokhar Tsarnaev dispose of evidence.
This got me thinking: are Kazakhs “Asian”? Certainly, Kazakhstan is in Asia. But does that mean Israelis and Iranians are Asian, too? If you take a step back and think about it, Asia, Africa, and Europe are all one big landmass. Lesson of the story: both race and the continents are arbitrary social constructions. (On a related note, the Chechen Tsarnaev brothers are literally as “Caucasian” as it gets, yet in the United States, where Caucasian is still used as a synonym for white or European, commentators can’t figure out if they should be white or not. Like this: Chinese diaspora in France. The Chinese diaspora in France consists of people of Chinese ancestry who were born in or immigrated to France. Population estimates vary, ranging from 600,000 to 700,000 as of 2010[update].[1] Though they form a small part of the Chinese diaspora, the Chinese diaspora of France represents the largest overseas Chinese community in Europe (if excluding Russia) with the UK following second at around 400,000.
History[edit] 17th century[edit] The first record of a Chinese man in France is Shen Fo-tsung in 1684, and soon after Arcade Hoange, also known as Huang Jialü (1679-1716). He was brought back by Jesuit missionaries to the Versailles court of the Sun King in the late 17th century, and oversaw a collection of manuscripts sent as a gift from the Chinese emperor Kangxi.[2] World War I[edit] The entrance of the WWI Chinese cemetery at Noyelles-sur-Mer A tomb in the WWI Chinese cemetery at Noyelles-sur-Mer Post World War I[edit] Recent immigration[edit] Vietnamese Chinese[edit] Wenzhounese[edit]
China–France relations. China–France relations, also known as Sino-French relations or Franco-Chinese relations, refers to the interstate relations between China and France (Kingdom or later). Note that the meaning of both "China" and "France" as entities has changed throughout history; this article will discuss what was commonly considered 'France' and 'China' at the time of the relationships in question.
There have been many political, cultural and economic relationships between the two countries. History[edit] 17th and 18th centuries[edit] Numerous French Jesuits were active in China during the 17th and 18th centuries: Nicolas Trigault (1577–1629), Alexander de Rhodes (1591–1660, active in Vietnam), Jean-Baptiste Régis (1663–1738), Jean Denis Attiret (1702–1768), Michel Benoist (1715–1774), Joseph-Marie Amiot (1718–1793). French Jesuits pressured the French king to send them to China with the aims of counterbalancing the influence of Ottoman Empire in Europe.

Lycéens certes, mais citoyens surtout: jeudi 7 novembre, à l'Assemblée nationale, des élèves de trois établissements de Seine-Saint-Denis ont démontré que la politique n'est pas réservée aux adultes.
Après un premier épisode dédié à la question du logement au mois d'octobre, le débat organisé par le think tank EuropaNova était cette fois consacré à un thème d'une actualité brûlante: l'Europe doit-elle être une forteresse? Conviés à répondre à la question, le député européen Philippe Juvin, de l'UMP, et le député socialiste de Paris Christophe Caresche. Les deux hommes, habitués des débats de haut niveau, ont d'abord débattu ensemble, avant de répondre aux questions des lycéens. Des interpellations qui les ont surpris par leur pertinence. Voici les meilleurs moments de ces échanges. Débat animé par Nora Hamadi (Public Sénat) et Rokhaya Diallo Diriez-vous, un mois après le drame de Lampedusa, que l’Europe s’est assise sur ses principes d’accueil et de protection des populations? France's first black newsreader says country is blighted by 'deep-seated racism' Harry Roselmack furious after monkey chants were aimed at black ministerMr Roselmack became first non-white TF1 presenter in 2006 after president Jacques Chirac urged media to hire more ethnic minority journalists By Peter Allen PUBLISHED: 20:16 GMT, 5 November 2013 | UPDATED: 20:24 GMT, 5 November 2013 France’s first black newsreader today launched an outspoken attack on the country, saying it is blighted by ‘deep-seated racism’.
It was not until 2006 that Harry Roselmack finally became the only non-white presenter on TF1, the Gallic equivalent of BBC1. Now he is furious after monkey chants were aimed at a black minister, saying they reduced him ‘to my negro condition’. Harry Roselmack, France's first black newsreader, has said there is 'deep-seated racism' in the country ‘Racist France is back,’ said Mr Roselmack, responding to a massive increase in popularity for the far right National Front (FN). Christiane Taubira, the black justice minister, was racially abused several times last month.
