Racism Hits New High in France: Report

PARIS: Migrants in France face racism more than ever before, with over 50 percent of the French saying there are too many migrants in the country, according to a recent human rights report.
The report by France's National Commission of Human Rights says 36 percent of all acts of racism are directed toward North Africans. 
The report also accuses politicians of increasingly 'playing the Islamophobia card' to win votes. 
On Monday, French Interior Minister Claude Gueant referred to the number of Muslims in the country as 'a problem' during a debate on the role of Islam in the French society.

1. this article left out a lot.

For one thing, it mentions that only 36 percent of racism is directed against North Africans. This is a small proportion, and it doesn't say who commits the racism. Does that mean that 64% of racism is directed against white French, for example? And how much of the racism is directed against North Africans by black Frenchmen? Inter-minority racism between black African Frenchmen and Arab Frenchmen is quite high, reflecting the problems which exist in California between Mexican-Americans and black Americans.
