Duly noted, Ming. I got greedy. Casta just drives me insane.
For those poor saps who missed it, I basically posted about 8 or 9 large photos of Laetitia Casta, arguably the sexiest woman in the world. I did this not only to showcase her near-perfection, but also to help demonstrate possibly why France has the highest birthrate in the EU.
And to bring this thread back OT: someone (I forget who) said France's stance on illigration was precipitated by economic rather than cultural concerns. Do the French have any concerns at all about immigrants not assimilating? I would tend to think they are rather staunch defenders of their culture, and would not want to see it diluted from an influx of non-adopters.

There's a concern about people not assimilating, but they are first or second-generation residents, originating in North Africa. I haven't noticed any fear of such sort with the current wace of immigration, coming from Subsaharian Africa.

I've heard France is rather schizoid towards Black people. Africans are treated rather shabbily, but African-Americans are treated as if they walk on water. Interestingly, the longer an African-American lives in France, the less well they are treated, as they lose their American accent.

I would believe it. We don't obsess on African-Americans (especially since we don't meet them any often), but since they are the underdogs of evil evil America, I find it believable that we have lots of sympathy for them.
We treat our blacks shabbily indeed, though it's a very different form of racism than what we indulge to the Arabs. The racism toward blacks isn't really hatred, but more of a paternalistic neo-colonial mentality: "the Blacks run fast", "they're better at dancing than at working", things like that. There's the occasional "they stink" (which is said of every group of population that has another diet anyway), but hatred is rarely involved. However, blacks get often underestimated (which lets many Blacks stuck at low-level jobs), and bossed around. They also suffer from discrimination during job-search, house-search, and at nightclubs (this discrimination is wholly illegal, but widespread).
As an aside: a significant reason of the alienation of this population group is the constant "random" checking of IDs, which is blatantly racist.
Clothing can do wonders if you don't want to suffer from the stigma of hate-filled anti-Arab racism*. If you dress in a suit, people are likely not to see you as a dangerous potential mugger, regardless of the colour of your skin. I don't know if clothing affects the paternalistic racism however.
*clothing can also do wonders to trigger being mugged. Quite a few muggings have a component of class-racial hatred (the whities, especially the well dressed ones, being often seen as oppressive bourgeois, or as weaklings who can't defend themselves, or both)
