The only evidence Time has to support this claim: A National Front politician who is of Algerian descent and an informant named "Habiba" who says ethnic minorities in her neighborhood are voting for Le Pen (the leader of the National Front).

I am not an expert on France, but I do know that Le Pen is an out-and-out racist, and I am extremely skeptical that he attracts a significant proportion of French ethnic minorities.

I don't disagree. But things are getting pretty hairy in France and the worse they get people are going to gravitiate toward someone that promises to fix the problem in ways we many now think unimaginable. We don't have to back too far in history to this scenario play out.
