In March 1990, according to a poll reported in Le Monde, 76% of those polled said that there were too many Berbers in France while 39% said they had an "aversion" to Berbers.^[1] In the following years, Interior Minister Charles Pasqua was noted for dramatically toughening immigration laws.^[2]

In May 2005, riots broke out between North Africans and Romani people in Perpignan, after a young North African man was shot dead and another North African man was lynched by a group of Roma.^[3][4]

The "Hijab ban" law, presented as secularization of schools, and supported by all major parties in the French parliament, as well as many feminists,^[5] was interpreted by its critics as an "indirect legitimization of anti-Muslim stereotypes, fostering rather than preventing racism."^[2]

In 2010, a poll found that 28 percent of French people think that Berbers are "more likely to commit crimes than members of other ethnic groups".^[6]
