Does France need a good affirmative action policy
Let's see if we can get this discussion back to what is happening in France.
​
Although I have always had misgivings about affirmative action, it does make it easier for a subculture to merge into the main culture. Could this work in France?

Re: Does France need a good affirmative action policy
I think you're right. It might help alleviate the situation and lead to more assimilation into French society.
I'm glad you recognize some benefit in affirmative action.
​
I would not suggest any cap on the time. Experience in the US suggests that resentment toward affirmative action programs will increase over time, so that programs will tend to be self-limiting.
