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.
Algerian-born women in France have 32% more children than women born in France.
