Some French people fear the election of a Miss France of Moroccan origin

Of Moroccan origin, Sabah Aib, 18 years old, elected Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais 2024 last Saturday, said he was “facing a wave of racist hatred” on social networks since his coronation.

Less than a week after his coronation, Sabah Aib, who seduced the jury and the public with his presence, his general knowledge and his naturalness, denounced on Instagram that he was the victim of “a wave of racist hatred” because of his North African origins. “My name is part of my identity and it has nothing to do with my nationality. France is a multicultural country and having a name that comes from elsewhere does not change the fact that I am French. I was born in France just like my parents. We consider ourselves above all to be French. My origins are part of my history, but they do not define who I am,” the young woman born to an Algerian father and a Moroccan mother said in a long post.
