It's still racism, tribalism, discrimination. Call it what you'd like, people suffer because of it.Systemic racism... I like this kind of wording which is loaded by itself... Let's say to be neutral that they obey different codes from the rest of the population.
Perhaps the truth is that a bit of both are at play.
Sometimes groups are segregated because their lifestyle or appearance is not accepted by others. People are tribal and afraid of difference. That goes both ways.
It started that way.Glad this isn't going political!
This photography, to me, shows that these are real people… individuals with a soul, like the rest of us.
I’m assuming that these folks live in France, but they don’t seem much different from the Romany I encountered in England.
LOL… sure… but it’s actually true.Godwin's law at work after 16 posts... not bad!
Great work!
Your pictures do tell the "story". I also see a lot of joy despite difficult circumstances. The other poster is right though, how can we know this is in France? You didn't include the obligatory baguette in every pictureThank you all for your messages.
English is not my native language, I hope I won't write something that I don't mean.
Meeting these families has been a great life experience. It took a while before they agreed to be photographed. I fully understand this, because they feel devalued because of the living conditions imposed on them by the institutions.
Anyone of you "wondering how these pictures speak to that". Well I guess this job is a big failure then. I intended to talk about dignity, sadness and maturity. In my opinion, children are particularly expressive: sadness, dignity and exceptional maturity. Living a while with these people was a big step to me.
Racism is a monstrosity.
Thank you !Your pictures do tell the "story". I also see a lot of joy despite difficult circumstances. The other poster is right though, how can we know this is in France? You didn't include the obligatory baguette in every picture. Pictures telling a whole story is a myth. We always need background info.
You seem very interested in this political point.Laurent, what institutions are you talking about and what do you mean by "living conditions imposed on them"?
