just a quick comment on racism in another European country - Switzerland. Switzerland has a sizable number of Turkish "guest" workers. The Turks do everything the Swiss don't want to dirty their hands with and many Swiss view the Turks with contempt. I have heard of no major riots breaking out in Switzerland, however.
I think that this is because the Swiss would simply rid of themselves of the problem completely if such things were to happen. Switzerland was never a colonial power as France was and feels no special obligation to give ANY foreign nationals special consideration.
