France is grappling with a surge in reported racist incidents, raising concerns about the normalization of bigotry within the country. Disturbingly, these incidents are now occurring within state institutions, specifically the police force, charged with upholding the law.

This escalation is viewed as deeply concerning, and indicates limits are no longer being observed by extremist groups. The article originally appeared on TSA.
