"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

The opening point seemed to be a fairly GPWM tbf. France imposes Catholicism on it's Africa and quelle suprise! High birth rates!

Were the Africans in those colonies big users of contraception before then?
Not really the point, is it? It's the birth rates now that Macron and the author are referring to.
It's all about root causes; that's where the real money is, if you don't have enough guns.

Referencing high birth rates is not a racist statement.
I didn't say it was.
Here's what I don't get about post-colonial guilt. On the one hand, the poor, innocent, child-like people of Africa and Asia, apparently entirely lacking in agancy, did as they were told and took on the rules and regulations imposed by christianity because we told them to. Now that we tell them to do something different, such as not breeding in quite such a rabbit-like fashion, all of a sudden develop enough free will to ignore us.
What's it to be? Are the oppressed peoples of the world naive natives, to be bent to our will as required, or sentient human beings with the ability to take responsibility for their actions?
