1/Thread with data that I could find about immigration and race in France. I am obviously not an expert and don't speak French so if you think I am not presenting the full picture please correct me, especially if you are French.
3/ In a medium migration scenario this is expected to grow to 17.4% in 2050.
4/ It is illegal for the govt to collect information on ancestry, but it is estimated that France is about 85% white. 10% north African, 3.3% black and 1.7% Asian. worldatlas.com/articles/what-…
5/ This poll gives a slightly lower estimate that only 70-75 percent of France is white.
6/ However demographics for the youngest are different. It was estimated that nearly 40% of French newborns were tested for sickle cell anemia in 2016, which is done if both parents have ancestry from parts of the world described below. thosewhocansee.blogspot.com/2022/09/whos-r…
7/ In 2019 nearly 20% of baby names given in France were muslim:
8/ It is estimated that if immigration increases white could become a minority by the end of the century.
9/ It seems clear that Muslims are overrepresented in the French prison population, though we don't know to what extent. It is commonly stated that they make up 70% of the prison population but this seems to high. Better estimates range from 30 to 50 percent. adamsmith.org/blog/are-70-of…
10/ Macron claimed that half of criminals in Paris were committed by foreigners. This seems to be true, but this newspaper blames this on police discrimination. lemonde.fr/en/les-decodeu…
11/ This article finds that foreigners are overrepresented in those incarcerated but again blames it on bias in the legal system. I am unable to find any data that looks directly at race and crime in France. archive.is/nf0BQ
12/ Looking at the crime rate overall it is higher than it was in the mid 20th century, but doesn't seem to have increased much since the 80s: archive.is/jDBCu
13/ Looking at the economic situation, men from Turkey, Africa and the Maghreb make less than French born men and this is true even among the French born. wol.iza.org/articles/racia…
14/ They are also more likely to be unemployed: archive.is/9dWkq
15/ Ryan Faulk put together an estimate of the fiscal impact of blacks and muslims here. I understand these analyses are controversial so keep that in mind. archive.org/details/youtub…
16/ When it comes to Arab opinion polls, most think that their faith is viewed negatively in France: arabnews.com/node/1770751/w…
17/ 45% of French Muslims say that they want the destruction of Israel and a similar number support the 10/7 attacks. jns.org/frances-skyroc…
18/ 42% of French Muslims support Shariah over local laws. This is higher for young people.
19/ After the Charlie Hebdo attacks 25% of French Muslims refused to condemn the terrorist attacks and 41% refused to participated in a moment of silence for the victims: breitbart.com/europe/2020/09…
20/ Muslims make up a small percent of the electorate in France but they seem to vote overwhelmingly for socialist candidates: brookings.edu/articles/is-th…
15/ French also consistently don't seem very concerned about immigration:
26/ It is hard to find data on interpersonal relationships between natives and immigrants, but significant number of Parisians would not date someone of a different race:
27/ Another argument against immigration is terrorism. There have been a couple major Islamic terrorist attacks in France in the past few years:
2015 Charlie Hebdo Attack: 12 killed
2015 Paris attack: 131 killed
2016 Nice Truck attack: 86 killed
28/ In the case of Paris there may have been explicit racial motive:
29/ Another issue is riots. In 2005 there were major riots after two teens were electrocuted after hiding from the police in a power plant. These riots killed three people.
30/ In 2023 there were major riots after an Algerian teen was shot. These riots killed two people, and cost 650 million Euros.
31/ A common justification for immigration is dominance in sports. However the team was beaten by the mostly Spanish Spain team today:
New Pew report on Trump vs Biden polling:
>40% of dems think that criminal justice system should be harsher
>59% of Republicans are pro-natalist
>56% of Republicans support seperation of church and state
38% of Trump supporters are sympathetic to abortion:
1/THREAD What is going on with gender relations in South Korea?
2/Of some major countries polled, South Korea has the highest percent of people saying that there is a great deal or fair amount of tension between men and women: ipsos.com/sites/default/…
3/ South Korea also has the lowest birth rate in the OECD. It seems reasonable to assume that this is partially due to the breakdown in gender relations because virtually all births are legitimate and decline in marriage closely tracks falling fertility. archive.is/rCGFD
Quick thread on this new report on underemployment, which is defined as getting a degree and working a job that doesn't need one. They estimate that after 10 years 45% of college graduates are "underemployed" static1.squarespace.com/static/6197797…
most people who start out underemployed stay that way:
Most of the underemployed are severely underemployed, or working jobs that could be done with only a hs degree:
Alright, since the poll respondents requested, here are some excepts from Roy Baumeister's "Is there anything good about men" amazon.com/There-Anything…
The main thesis of the book is that men and women each have their own things that they are good at, and that the things that men are good at are vital to society flourishing.
Modern society is increasingly viewing women more favorably than men hence the "women are wonderful" effecr
