    I realize that France famously doesn't keep track of such jejune statistics as race, but I find it hard to believe that you think only 5% of the French population is non white.

    What percentage of France is non white?

    five percent

    Since the end of the Second World War, France has become an ethnically diverse country. Today, approximately five percent of the French population is non-European and non-white.

    1) That article was published in 2001. You think there has been no change to French demography since 2001?

    2) Again, France doesn't keep those sort of demographic statistics. Since they don't doesn't that make any guesstimate of race numbers in France iffy? Where do you get the numbers?

    You could at least be polite and acknowledge I was correct rather than storming off in a huff, flipping your Karen haircut in response.

    You aren't correct.
    I found information that answered your doubts.
    If you don't like it, find your own
    It is called debate
