Apologize, France!
A short summary of the actual immigration problem in France, which was brought up by the latest movie “Indegenes” by Rachid Bouchaber, with Jamel Debbouze, Samy Naceri. The movie shows how colony troops were fighting for France during WWII.But the situation got into a complete nonsense. The summary is represented as a dialogue.
Colonies: It’s all your fault, if you hadn’t colonized our country, we could have reached higher social and economic power then you!
France: [wordless, silent astonishment]
Colonies: We had such a huge potential in comparison with our neighbors, but you’ve ruined it all!
France: [feels herself ashamed]
Colonies: But there is a solution…You can give our people the ability of studying in your universities for free, simplify the residency receipt, pay retirement fees for the ones who were battling on your side during WWII, and we’ll forget about all historical injustices we had to go through being your colonies.
France:[malicious smile, takes her word in the conversation]
Actually, we’ve promised to do it, and since that time we keep our promises, your people study in our country, and they have same rights as our inhabitants. It’s not our fault that some of them prefer easy-money and to live on the RMI payments then working hard; just come over, integrate in our society and feel yourself home!
Colonies: [started tossing trying to find other arguments]
…You’ve destroyed everything we were creating through the centuries of our history, you’ve brought your useless schools and churches you called “culture”. We could have invent our own…schools and churches…
France: [sighing all-in]
Okay, you’re right - it’s our fault, we shouldn’t have meddle in our live. We take our responsibility.
Colonies: And don’t forget about giving some extra to our people!..
France: Okay-Okay, F-I-N-E!
This is how you should come to an agreement with powerful countries!
