Fascinating story. I have just been reading about another, more recent, French social experiment where the powers that be attempted to redress the depopulation of rural France in the 1960s and the overpopulation of the island of Reunion by forcibly relocating 'orphans' and unwanted children from Reunion to France. Once again, the recipients of this largesse were promised a land of milk and honey and found themselves in conditions tantamount to slavery instead. This crazy scheme lasted for 20 years, into the early 1980s, and caused incredible heart ache. It also caused all sorts of social and racial problems. Does anyone know of any instances where this kind of social engineering actually worked to the benefit of those concerned?

France, just like any other European country, shouldn't have any racial problems at all if you know what I mean, but that's an endless conversation that can not be done on steemit. Very informative comment. Thank you ;)
