I can't really speak about those countries, but in the UK it seems to me sometimes that black immigrants are way better integrated into society than in the US.
Economically speaking (unemployment, % on benefits, wages, education level)
Carribeans, Eastern European, Indians, Chinese do similarly or better to the native whites.
Africans, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis do poorly.
There's a pretty clear difference between the sucessful half and the unsucessful half, and it isnt the colour of their skin. A vast generalization, but striking nonetheless.

Tne UK is a little different. But I never saw a non-white British General. But your Army is smaller than our's so it's different.
In Paris, I have seen blacks, north africans, asians, pacific islanders...etc as police officers.
It is pretty common to see non white police officers.
Black people by far are the largest minority in the police force.
My question is how you with such limited experience are able to draw such large conclusions.
I've seen and met minority government officials, professors, and policemen from/in France. Other people have to. You took a short vacation to tiny minuscule parts of the entire continent of Europe (a continent of 10 million square kilometers and over 700 million people) of which your experience was a mere blip of a blip and you were able to extrapolate that Europe is going to fail (whatever that is supposed to mean) from the entire thing. Does this not sound incredibly egotistic of you?
People shouldn't forget that countries like Italy or Spain hardly have any immigrants 15 years ago.
Other western european countries had european immigration since several decades but non european immigration is quite recent.
France or UK have signifiant non-european immigration since over half a century and people should not forget that both were big colonial powers.

I don't know the race of somebody only by seeing names but there are french ambassadors of muslims descent.
By example, Nada Yafi the French ambassador in Kuwait.
Anyway it is true that minorities are very underrepresented.
