The “young people” growing up in immigrant communities of France’s housing projects are the ones who are responsible for taking the initiative to merge with the mainstream. The French govt or the people are absolutely not required to change their way of life and beliefs in order to adjust to the immigrants. It is the duty of the immigrant to adjust and adapt to his/her new circumstances/society/nation. The nation/society cannot be asked to change its systems, beliefs and values in order to adjust to immigrants. Such a suggestion is laughable at best.
However, France has indeed been involved in all sorts of violence, repression and oppression across her colonies. It is often said by historians that the French were the worst of all European colonizers.
To that end, a genuine and heartfelt apology from the French President is called for. Idiots like Le Pen may say what they wish to say but a bloody history cannot be brushed under the carpet.
