Is the French National Anthem 'Racist'?

Available for over a year

Is the French national anthem racist? The hashtag #LaMarseillaise has been trending this week after a debate stoked by a controversial minister's refusal to sing the song. Christiane Taubira objected to what she called 'karaoke on a public platform' - a rival politician tells Mukul Devichand why he criticised her on Twitter. Also in the programme the ongoing debate over Native American mascots in US sport and how a student t-shirt caused a social media backlash. The team also looks into the Facebook page encouraging women in Iran to remove their headscarves... and why are some Russian men shaving their beards? Mukul Devichand is joined in the studio by Estelle Doyle, Mike Wendling and the cacophonous BBC Trending choir.
