Blond but Italian features don't you think?

Do they could pass for being French?
Because they are French too. It shows you they vary a lot. You can find very light French people and you will never find that kind of look in Switzerland or even Austria. But they could easily pass for Norwegians.

But I knew that American don't know how French look like.
When I go to Spain, England, Germany, and especially USA and I say I am French. They say "Really?" "But where your parents come from?"
Like if there was a typical French look...

And you can see among them, they also vary a lot if you exclude black people.

If you mean black people are a majority in France, you do a mistake.

Extra-European looks in France are not the majority, yet, still they already account for a very significant share of the total population. Nonetheless people on here chose to ignore that fact.

According to Wiki

"une étude du CRAN évoquait en 2007 1,865 million (de plus de 18 ans), soit l'équivalent d'un peu moins de 4 pour cent de la population des plus de 18 ans32. Un article de 2008 paru dans le New York Times indiquait des estimations variant entre 3 et 5 millions33. On estime que quatre personnes sur cinq noirs en France sont d'origine africaine, le reste étant les Afro-Américains en France (en)34,35.

D'autre part, 364 800 personnes nées dans un département d’outre-mer vivent en France métropolitaine en 2008 (ce chiffre n'inclut pas leurs enfants nés en métropole et qui représentent environ le même nombre que celui de leurs parents).

Selon Jean-Paul Gourévitch, il y a en France métropolitaine, en 2008, environ 2,4 millions de personnes noires originaires d'Afrique subsaharienne et de l'Océan indien et de 700 à 900 000 Domiens soit au total entre 3 et 3,5 millions de personnes noires en France métropolitaine soit 5% de la population totale."

1.865 Million Blacks older than 18 in France according to the CRAN
According to the NewYorkTimes it is 3 or 5 Million.
According to JPGourévitch (under 18 included) it is between 3 and 3.5 million.

So no it does not represent France. But it is true that Black people live especially in the Parisian region. There are 2.6 million black people living in Ile de France therefore more than the parisian population.

France is by far the "White" country with the highest number of Black people in the world if we exclude the US.
Same for the Arabic population.
We also have a big Jew diapora, many people from Italy, Spain, Portugal and some from Poland.
According to Le Figaro, 12 million people in France have at least a parent which is not french born.

It shows why France is so diverse.
Diversity in England or Germany is non-existent compared to diversity in France.

How about North Africans ?

[arthurrdim]

It doesn't mean that extra-europeans are a majority in France. They stay a minority.

The "largest" part of Africans live in the parisian region.

I'm French and I know well the topic. I see reality.

The Netherlands is more diverse than france, and places of Western Germany can compete with France.

Also middle easterns and near easterns arent as visible in france as they are in Germany, let alone the netherlands. ANy darkier over here is detected as a foreigner, meanwhile many ethnic french would be considered "darkies" up here.
