For a long time, the only objection to such outcomes predictably came from the far-left schools of thought. In the past few years, other unexpected voices are however beginning to question what they interpret, as the new philosopher Alain Finkielkraut coined the term, as an "Ideology of miscegenation" ("une idéologie du métissage") that may come from what one other philosopher, Pascal Bruckner, defined as "The Tears of the White Man" ("le sanglot de l'homme blanc"). These critics have been dismissed by the mainstream and their propagators have been labelled as new reactionaries ("les nouveaux réactionnaires"), even if racist and anti-immigration sentiment has recently been documented to be increasing in France at least according to one poll.
