No doubt, this parody of political correctness mean to be a pure as the snow driven through the mud, but his claim that women who have large families are uneducated, sounded elitist and racist, since it hit women of colour:

“Abortion supporters and population control proponents have frequently targeted those with large families — claiming that they are selfish or hurting the environment or that mothers of such families are somehow demeaning themselves compared to other women because they desired more children. French President Emmanuel Macron is the latest to insult people with large families, as he said women who mother such families are uneducated. His comments came in association with remarks trashing women in Africa for not exercising population control. The French president, who has come under fire over his views on Africa in the past, added that the future for the continent’s young people must be to stay in a revitalised Africa, and insisted it was “pure bull—-” to suggest he was telling African people from New York what to do with their lives. “One of the critical issues of African demography is that this is not chosen fertility,” said Macron, speaking at the Gates Foundation’s “goalkeepers” event on the margins of the UN general assembly in New York. “I always say: ‘Present me the woman who decided, being perfectly educated, to have seven, eight or nine children.”
He added: “This is just because a lot of girls were not properly educated, sometimes because these countries decided the rights of these girls were not exactly the same rights as the young man. That is not acceptable”.
Macron’s comments shouldn’t be surprising given his recent decision to honor a prominent French abortion activist.”
Be that as it is, it still represents a criticism of women of colour, and must be seen as totally unacceptable by the polite canons of political correctness today. Hopefully, he may face the same sanctions that Le Pen faces, who may well be burnt at the metaphorical stake:
