RE: Paris Burning: Not about race, immigration, but frustration

The author uses a lot of preemptive liberal-speak to arrive at exactly the conclusion denied in the title. "Frustration" is a general term used with the intention of evoking an emotional response. However, in the end we discover that the participants in the rioting are frustrated about French racial attitudes and immigration policies.

The article is nothing more than a defense mounted for the sake of the twin scions of liberalism: multiculturalism and planned economies. France represents the supposed gem of enlightened European socialism and multiculturalism. Now that it is going up in flames, we can expect more of these spin-jobs.

Perhaps the author should have read Mark Steyn's article first.
