Im not gonna pretend France is already like south Africa, but in some specific places it might get scaringly close. I used to live for a couple of years next to the infamous northern "9.3" ghettos of Paris. I had to when i built my first business with a friend as it was next to an historical industrial area (Aubervilliers) and at that point we were still very broke...
We are still talking to this day how we managed to survive this shit, literally, we dodged getting stabbed a couple of times, he got held at gunpoint and so many crazy stories... That was more than 10 years ago.
I had quite a couple of funny encounters in my own region of Lyon, playing club football, going out at night etc... but hopefully managed to spend most of my childhood far enough in the countryside and even around city centers that was not nearly as bad yet there in comparison.
I guess at least that motivated us to succeed and escaping this hellhole as fast as possible. It was not like that yet, so i can only imagine how it would be today:

Bottom line... liberals really have to taste their own medicine on daily basis to understand how it's like for regular people to live among diversity, because most people will have to remain there all their life, they have only one country and never will have the means to escape it.
You can't just meet a few selected prepped up non whites in Chelsea, the 16th district of Paris, all the safe spaces where they remain a small minority, while never crossing the edge of their neighbourhood (so much for a free democracy). Then come comment how everything is gonna be fine pursuing this madness and everybody should stop being paranoid, which is basically what they ve been telling everyone for decades. We ve seen the results already.
They most of the times quickly change their mind in my experience when they get actually exposed to the materialization of their "ideals". I ve seen hilarious complete u-turn. However some will never change as they won't admit they were wrong all their life or their identity crisis/quarell with the country, will always prevent them to see things objectively.
