"Just block calls between France and Marocco" is a very racist proposal

FYI there is at least 900k+ people in France either immigrant from Marocco or with an origin and a 100k+ people with french nationality or origin living in Marocco

That's not racist it's simply a practical solution to spam calls coming from Morocco.

It's completely irrelevant how many immigrants there are, they live in France now they can just dial out to Morocco and we ban inbound calls from Morocco.

Yes that's racist to divide one million families just the same of cruelty, and also quite stupid because that's not how capitalism work when there is a cheaper source of labor of a call center that speaks the right language in the right timezone, it will find its way.

But racism and stupidity are usually good friends, so that checks out.

Those people mostly use Whatsapp or similar at this point. Much cheaper and better quality.

Come on! It was a reply. The people in question are in the parent. They are the "at least 900k+ people in France either immigrant from Marocco or with an origin and a 100k+ people with french nationality or origin living in Marocco". It’s rather obvious.
