Ethnicisation

The ethnicisation consists in allotting, wrongly or rightly, with ethnic differences real or perceived like a such social phenomenon, that it is in the chief of the people concerned, the authorities, of the researchers, of the media.

For example, interpretation by an applicant for work of a refusal of recruiting by reasons for ethnic discrimination, the interpretation of school failures in a class by the ethnic origin of the pupils, analysis of the " crisis of the banlieues" by a primarily ethnic grid.

In an interview with the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz on November 19th, 2005, the philosopher Alain Finkielkraut declares " In France, one tends to reduce these riots to their social dimension, to see them like a revolt of the young people of the suburbs against their situation (…)". " the problem, it is that the majority of these young people are blacks or Arabs with a Moslem identity. " According to Finkielkraut, the proof in is that, " in France, there are also other immigrants in difficult situation - Chinese, Vietnameses, Portuguese - and they do not take share with the riots. Therefore, it is clear that it is about a revolt with a character ethnico-monk "
