French historian Pierre-André Taguieff, quoted in The New York Times piece, said the French people are exasperated by phrases such as “systemic racism’’ and “white privilege,” which he says are an “artificial importation” from America.

    but don’t point anything but submission to those
    poorly constructed and conveyed values of a radical minority?
