I don’t understand what you are saying, how is simply gathering data of the state of the world a problem?

Science is based on assessing data and creating hypothesis based on that data. Racial statistics is just another vector to assess our society. You would expect that race would not be a factor and thus be evenly distributed across professions/positions of power in a country. When you look at the data and see that is not the case, why not try to look at the factors that account for that discrepancy? Just because the variable we looked at is race doesn’t mean racism is the cause but you can’t even assess whether it is without the data first.

Why should we allow statistics to be gathered on the basis of religion or gender?

Now I’m curious, in French law, are racial statistics banned for research in medical outcomes or disease?
