In 2020, the UN encouraged France to use race statistics, after 75 years of ban, to increase chances for the non-whites [1].

So, it is not specific to the USA. If I were all opponents to the West, I would fund the hell out of those movements because they destabilize the Occident.

France wont give a shit, and that's good. Here in Europe we do policies based on your income/outcome and not about the levels of melathonin in your skin.

Also, to which ethnics do I belong? Because I am Basque, and after crossing the Bidasoa river I'm getting into the French Basque Country and magically I am not Hispanic even if the differences between "they" and us are nil, the same with Catalonians with most Southern French people. Or the Aragonese.

And most people from Galicia and Asturias would pass as Irish or half-Brit in a breeze.

Oh, and btw, here people is tightly bound to the culture you did grow up with, so you can be a Senegalese speaking better Basque with no "Subsaharian" accent at all, better even than some random Castillian guy who decided to live near a Basque town.

France literally has a minister of equality, and works tirelessly to help “some communities” without putting a name on it.
