  1. Isn’t Europe as a whole 25 years behind on discussing racism? Just yesterday, I heard people in France saying that, I quote, "discussing race is equivalent to defining somebody only by his skin color, so this is fundamentally racist"* @ChrChristensen/1270403039783006208

        Oh, and while I’m at it, France is also 25 years *behind* on discussing feminism When a movement similar to Me Too happened there, 100 preominent *women* defended unwanted advances by men as a "right to annoy" on Le Monde
