Please leave your hatred for Israel out of this. Israel is extremely multicultural. All signs are officially in three languages. The population is 20% Arabic, and 60% of the Jews there come from all over the middle east and Africa.

This is a thread about Paris, yet all you rabid haters, who are obsessed with hating Israel, made it about Israel. @dang -- remove these evil people from Hacker News

No hate here. No obsession with Israel. I support their right to be an ethno-nationalist state. I just don't deny that's what they're doing, which seems to be an approach too many people take.

Could you tell me what you think the “surprise” is, exactly? I don’t quite get it, I need you to explicitly say what you mean.

i’m afraid you’ll have to ask your asian friends visiting the country for the first time after they took the RER from the airport to Paris (but you’ll have to make them feel like they won’t get sued for giving their impression, first)

You're still doing exactly what I asked you not to do. What exactly is the "great surprise" that you mentioned? What exactly is it that you think my "asian friends" are going to see? Come on, spit it out, have the courage to own your opinions. And if it turns out that your opinion is something that would get you banned from HN for sharing, then maybe you should consider refraining from invoking that opinion via dog whistles and thinly veiled insinuations too.

If you’re truely interested in my opinion on the situation in france just read my other comments in the thread.

But somehow i doubt you are. Your tone seem to suggest you’re rather the kind of person eager to call anyone a racist every time cultural gaps or even identity in general is mentioned. I’m not sure you realize it, but you’re the exact mirror image of people from the extreme right that blame race for every trouble in the country.

I’m not eager to call you a racist, I’m eager for you to stop being racist on HN.

> Too much mass immigration to anywhere would be undesirable, but for economic and population density reasons. This seems like a very... austere, perhaps even autistic lens to use on the problem. It sounds like if we were just able to pack people in as perfectly as possible, like apples in a box, and somehow still maintain an average tax profitability from them, you'd be okay with whatever was happening inside the ap…

Clearly, this is what is happening with your contributions to this discussion. No matter how carefully written, your original contribution is nowhere to be found now. This only goes to show that these matters can not be debated.

You might have only been to higher-end restaurants, and not the "good ol' french" types that are as much about the atmosphere as they are about the food. The kind of thing I could only name as "à la bonne franquette". For a representative sample of the kind of place I'm talking about, try 'Chez Gladines' in the 13th arrondissement.

I’m from a place where “bouchons” is exactly this :P still less loud than any restaurant in the US

> still less loud than any restaurant in the US

Sounds like you might need to try some restaurants in the US. It's more than McDonald's and TGI Fridays.
