Reading the annual survey into racism in France again this morning. I still love the methodologies for getting people to reply truthfully.
1/ Interviewer asks question, listen to response.
2/ Interviewer asks question, response typed into tablet.
3/ Questions are online.

The variations between 1 and 3 tell you what the social norms are in France. People will answer in line with those expectations more if they have to tell another person.

For example, few French people have a positive opinion about religion in general, or any religion in particular. But they all upgrade their view when they have to tell someone. Whereas positivity about state secularism is widespread and no difference between the two settings.

The numbers in my first tweet are, sadly, not the same as the numbers in the table. Should be clear to anyone who speaks French, apologies to the rest.

This is what I was looking up anyway,... just checking my memory was right on antisemitism in France. It is more common among religious people, probably highest among Muslims (but only slightly), and overall it is declining. And much less prevalent on the left than the right.

There is just no evidence for any islamist-left coalition of intolerance or rejection of the values of the secular Republic in these results. Secularism is a deeply embedded value, including in elite professions such as academia, anti-Semitism remains most strongly of the right.

Now of course there's going to be some academics who love a contrarian take. And they'll get on TV of course. You can always find someone to victim-blame someone who has had their head chopped off or shot for showing a cartoon. But I bet it's really rare in French academia.
