I'm assuming you don't understand the French subtitles or you'd know that your second video shows the Japanese woman being complimentary about Paris' diversity.
She basically says that she has a tendency to get lost and she planned to visit Monmartre. She finds out that everything she knew about Paris was a cliche. One finds out quickly enough that Paris is multicultural with different neighborhoods that are African (She never says is this Africa?), Indian, Little India where one can discover another culture, an elegant Jewish neighborhood with multiple delicacies, and finally a Japanese neighborhood as well as others. All the communities have lived together for some years. And that makes Paris one of the most diverse cities in the world. It is not what she expected. She thought that she'd be the only one (Japanese) person there.
BTW, part of France is outside of the European continent like Martinique and Guadaloupe. There is also a strong connection to former colonies and departments like Senegal and Algeria so you'll find a large population in France. France has historically been diverse.
I find it odd that people living together peacefully bothers you.

Hmm, I see. Thx for the explanation. I guess some videos were used as mouth pieces to push forth certain agendas. It doesn't bother me of people living together peacefully at all but more so on the loss of culture of what made France, France. The whole mass immigration thing and influx of refugees then you see this high uptick in terror attacks, rapes, destruction of certain sectors in France happening within cause of said situation which would piss anyone off really.
Just a few days ago another jihadist attack.

I don't see France losing any of its "culture" because culture in any society always changes.
You also seem to forget that countries like France invaded other countries and uprooted and/or destroyed local cultures for their own financial gain. France isn't some harmonious island that kept to itself to become what it has become these past 200+ years. France has colonized Asia, the Americas, North Africa and the Middle-East leaving their cultural stamp on the local natives moreso than a handful of wartime refugees.
Speaking of jihadist attacks, looks like another lone wolf loser just like a slew of previous attackers. I equate him with the Texas boy who blew people up with his home-made bombs. American media and our President doesn't seem to view him that way though and even portrayed him with empathy. Imagine that!
