Grande Baie - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there problems with ethnic, race/racial minorities or religious prejudices? Gender equality?
Mauritius is presented as the racial/ethnic utopia, but the only reason there isn't any racial strife is because ethnic groups keep to themselves in this family based-culture and Mauritian culture is generally very reserved and demure. Under the surface, however, a lot of colonial racism is preserved (many clubs here are whites only) and francos, muslims, hindus, and Creoles are at odds with one another for land ownership, corporate control, and representation on the local media (TV channels). - Aug 2008
