What did he mean by this?

I don't know what he meant by this, but in French "métissage" does not necessarily mean racial interbreading. It could just mean cultural mixing of some kind too.

INTERRACIAL
BREEDING

Judging by the context of his speech, do you think he meant "métissage" as in interracial couples, or multiculturalism? Is "métissage" also the word for multiculturalism?

>"(...) the objective is to meet the challenge of "métissage" - the challenge of "métissage" that the 21st century is confronting us with. The challenge of "métissage", France has always been familiar with it, and by meeting the challenge of "métissage" France remains faithful to her history. Moreover, it is consanguinity that has always provoked the end of civilizations and societies.

>In the course of centuries, France has always known "métissage", France has always been "métissée".

>France has crossbred cultures, ideas and histories. France, who was able to crossbreed these cultures and these histories, constructed a universal language, because France herself is universal in the diversity of her origins.

Birthing mixed children is just part one. Part two is to have the workers pay for them and support them willfully. They're having trouble with that part.

Is it possible this is double-speak, because he wants to talk about one thing while being able to give the excuse he meant another, so he chooses a word with the dominant meaning "cross-breed", and then talks about culture and language, so it's ambiguous what he meant?

If he meant multikulturalism, why not just say multikulturalism?

Dunno. He probably meant both (they imply each others to some extent) but was being intentionally vague.

>Is "métissage" also the word for multiculturalism?
They use the word "multiculturalisme" too. Métissage probably implies interbreading a bit more. I watch French news sometimes but I'm not sure.

>double-speak
Heh, yeah. Probably!
>If he meant multikulturalism, why not just say multikulturalism?
Maybe it's a dirty British word. Looks like he was emphasizing the historial aspect of métissage in France to back himself.
