Adama Traoré: French anti-racism protests defy police ban

Censuses on race and ethnic origin were banned by the French Government in 1978, since the term "race" in France invokes associations with Nazi Germany.

Due to a law dating from 1872, the French Republic prohibits performing census by making distinction between its citizens regarding their race or their beliefs.

The scope of foreign origin can be estimated by the National Screening Program for Sickle Cell Disease because the genetic disease very rarely affects European people. Under government rules, newborn babies are screened when their backgrounds place them at risk of inheriting two copies of the sickle-cell gene, with the following criteria:^{[citation needed]}

Both parents are known to originate from a risk region.
If the identity of one parent (i.e., the father) is unknown, the other (the mother) originates from a risk region.
There is a family history of sickle-cell disease, regardless of the above.
If there is any doubt as to the three preceding criteria, the baby is tested.^[47]^{[unreliable source]}

The screening suggests that in 2000, 19 percent of all newborn babies in Metropolitan France had at least one parent originating from one of the risk regions. The figure for 2007 was 28.45 percent, for 2010 31.5 percent, for 2012 34.44 percent, for 2013 35.7 percent,^[48] and for 2015 38.9 percent.^[46]^{[unreliable source]} These percentages vary widely among French regions; for example, in 2015, screening suggested that only 8.1% of children born in Brittany had a parent originating from a sickle-cell risk region, while 73.4% of children born in Île-de-France (which includes Paris) did.^[49] The percentage for Île-de-France was a significant increase from 54.2% in 2005.^[46]^{[unreliable source]} However, a 2014 story in Le Monde suggested that the testing figures for Île-de-France were distorted by the practices of some hospitals in the region, which choose to test all babies whether or not they have parents with ancestry from an endemic sickle-cell region

According to American political commentator Steve Sailer,

For example, if Barack Obama were born in France today, he would not be tested because he couldn’t have inherited a copy of the gene through his northern European mother. . . . half-African tennis player Yannick Noah, who won the French Open in 1983, would not be tested because his mother was white. Nor would his son, NBA center Joakim Noah, because his mother was Miss Sweden

Re fn 46,47: Sailer is considered unreliable, You take a look at Wikipedia on say Demographics of France, and other articles.
