France is showing its true face?

What is surprising in France today, is the fact that racism against Arabs and Africans is not only growing in the country but not any more in hiding. There is not one single week that passes by without some incredible news about how Arabs and Africans are not welcome anymore here. If they had ever been really well received in France. And this racism, xenophobia and to a certain extend even antisemitic attitudes by French people is clear, high and loud. But the main problem is that the government and its chief are amongst the people who clearly proclaim that those two, and sometimes even Jewish, are not part of the country. No one can forget that a few months ago, a member of the current majority in the parliament said that one potential candidate to next year presidential election cannot be president because of his background (he is a well known Jewish politician, French Jewish). And unfortunately only a few people criticized this statement. And almost none from the government. But the irony, is that France desperately needs Arab and African countries for its development and I to think that Americans should take advantage of it to take market shares in those regions of the world.
