The 2024 survey by the Commission nationale consultative des droits de l'homme reveals a promising trend in France towards greater tolerance regarding race, religion, and ethnicity. Despite the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment and far-right political success, the survey indicates that racism is declining, with the 2024 index being the third highest recorded since 1990. Although societal events like the Hamas attacks and ongoing political debates influence public sentiment, the long-term trend since 1990 is one of increasing acceptance of minorities, marking a notable cultural shift in French society.
Despite rising anti-immigrant rhetoric in national politics, ordinary people in France are becoming more tolerant, with less likelihood of holding racist opinions in 2024.
The 2024 index is the third best score for tolerance since measurements began in 1990, reflecting a growing acceptance of minorities amidst cyclical fluctuations.
Overall, the data shows a steady rise in tolerance since 1990, with variations linked to events like terrorist attacks and political rhetoric.
In 2024, 18.9% of respondents identified as 'somewhat' or 'a little' racist, indicating a decrease from previous years despite ongoing societal tensions.
