I was puzzled why the French producer used a black man from Senegal instead of an Arab man from Algeria for the one role. I read the comments on IMDB and saw that there were a number of people who thought that due to prejudice against Arabs in France, a man from Senegal would sell the movie better. It was disappointing to learn that there is racism everywhere.
