Certainly France subsidizes/pushes its culture very hard, I'll give you that I guess.

I'm saying the data to determine that doesn't exist. The French do not record race ANYWHERE (this edict is in the French Constitution). So how do you know how many 1st gen or 2 gen are not French returnees? Or French Canadians? Or English Francophiles? Or like me?
In France once you become a citizen all that is recorded is that you are now French and your country of origin. That means hundreds of thousands from former French colonies like Algeria, Tunisia and Viet Nam are not broken out by race. How do you determine what is "native"?
I am not belittling you in any way. This lack of data is a problem in France too. It is extremely difficult to target a subgroup in France for any purpose or measurement due to this Constitutionally mandated lack of data.
