Woke culture is ‘racializing’ France, Macron says

French President Emmanuel Macron said a new wave of “woke culture” that has migrated from the United States is “racializing” his country.

“I see that our society is becoming progressively racialized,” Macron said during an interview with Elle magazine published this week.

The French president said he disagrees with any ideology that attributes value to people based on their gender or skin color.

“The logic of intersectionality fractures everything,” he said. “I stand for universalism. I don't agree with a fight that reduces everyone to their identity or their particularity.”

His country is regressing, Macron said, because he believes leftist ideology places certain minority groups “under house arrest.”
