Английская Википедия:Black people in France
Шаблон:Expand French Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox ethnic group Black French also known as French Black people or Afro-French (Afro-Français) are French people who are of sub-Saharan African (including Malagasy people) or Melanesian ancestry. It also includes people of mixed African/Melanesian and French ancestry.
Population statistics
Although it is illegal for the government of France to collect data on ethnicity and race in the census (a law with its origins in the 1789 revolution and reaffirmed in the constitution of 1958),[1] various population estimates exist. An article in The New York Times in 2008 stated that estimates vary between 3 million and 5 million.[2] It is estimated that four out of five black people in France are of African immigrant origin, with the minority being chiefly of Caribbean ancestry.[3][4]
Some organizations, such as the Representative Council of France's Black Associations (Шаблон:Lang-fr, CRAN), have argued in favor of the introduction of data collection on minority groups but this has been resisted by other organizations and ruling politicians,[5][6] often on the grounds that collecting such statistics goes against France's secular principles and harkens back to Vichy-era identity documents.[7] During the 2007 presidential election, however, Nicolas Sarkozy was polled on the issue and stated that he favoured the collection of data on ethnicity.[8] Part of a parliamentary bill which would have permitted the collection of data for the purpose of measuring discrimination was rejected by the Conseil Constitutionnel in November 2007.[1]
