As for this old hag, so it's OK to save sheep, but not to save people? Fair enough saving them but not by inciting other humans to race violence.
I ve heard it not only from my rather right winged family,but from working class people..they strongly believe the immigrants should leave their customs behind and follow the French way of living.
It happens to many European countries lately..
I do not agree with her at all and i am glad to live in a place more tolerant and happy go lucky than most..
