The International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism (LICRA) decided to launch legal proceedings against Éric Zemmour for his views after the 6 March 2010 broadcast of "Salut les Terriens" presented by Thierry Ardisson, where he promoted his book "Mélancolie française". He declared during the show that: "French people with an immigrant background were profiled because most traffickers are Blacks and Arabs... it is a fact." The same day, he asserted on France Ô that employers "had the right to refuse Arabs or Blacks". The Club Averroes and the MRAP submitted the case to the conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel after the legal proceedings brought by LICRA. Éric Zemmour was supported by several people, including the founder of Reporters Without Borders, journalist and extreme-right mayor of Beziers Robert Ménard.
