We're seeing sudden recognition of social inequality in French society. It seems like a policy of ignoring external differences, while a noble sentiment, can serve to promote the opposite of its intention: hiding inequality instead of eradicating it.
"France's Constitution guarantees equality to all, but that has long been interpreted to mean that ethnic or religious differences are not the purview of the state. The result is that no one looks at such differences to track growing inequalities and so discrimination is easy to hide."
