Please help me out here. Which clubs in Ligue have opened there arms the most to non-French players and minority fans? I mean that if Jews were to attend or follow a Ligue 1 club which one would have fans embracing them and not spitting racist chants???

Well...Here's how it works:
Group hugs are mandatory in France before
every game, among supporters and among
players.
I would recommend that you stare at this beautifull image while listening to this beautifull music and try to get into the spirit of it all:
Calming music:
_version #1 (definitively my favorite):

I think he means which club has the most non French and black players and which clubs do the minority groups in France support.

I guess Lens(they will lost 6 players because of the african cup) and Marseille have the most foreign players in their teams, but of course, there's no problem of rascism or what...
If I have understand, the answer it's that it don't exist such clubs, I guess because France is definitly not a country for communautarism, but a country where people mix themselves.
There's not a club for jews, one for blacks etc...
it would be sad...
I'm not sure if it is what you want to said...

Lens definitely have a great number of black Africans on their team. I remember in one match of theirs I watched (I can't recall who the opponents were) there were only 4 or 5 white guys on the field between the two teams. As for other clubs and their supporters, I don't know.

black people are not always african, lot's of french people are black, but Lens have the most african players that's right, 6 of them leave to the african cup
