From what I know, Parisians are about done with the brown problem.
I'd prefer it if you didn't say 'Brown' problem. I'm 'British Mixed Race' and Brown/Tanned skinned myself. I'd prefer you to say 'ME' people or use the word 'Muslim' or some other word but not 'Brown' people as that is pointing a finger at me too, just for being Brown/Tanned and every other Mixed Race or Tanned person with no association with the ME or Africa.
Thankyou very much.

The thread you started invites those who speak that way. They are pointing a finger at you, too.

I also think when discussing a person/s from a certain area, that person should be called by their area or Religion, this way it's clearly defined who is who and who in particular is/are being talked about.

One 45-year-old man told researchers an officer kicked him so hard in the shoulder that he was admitted to hospital for the next 20 days for treatment
So .. free healthcare then.
No, Parisian police have history of misconduct and blatant racism (like the current "accident" of shoving a baton up someone's arse while giving him a beating), so I think this might just be true.
It would not shock me at least.
Do you have proof of this incident?
If so, do post the photo/s.
Police in France have claimed that an officer anally raped a 22-year-old black man with a truncheon by mistake.
In an initial investigation, they found “insufficient evidence” to support the man's claim that he was deliberately sodomised.
A lawyer for one of the officer's suggested his expandable baton slipped into the man's anus by accident.

"Brown problem"?
Oh I can't WAIT to hear your excuse why that phrase isn't blatantly racist.
