Muslims in France: Some Data, by Guillaume Durocher
The Unz Review - Feb 11th 2021 7:36am ESTIn contrast to the situation in the Anglo-American world – where detailed racial data gives a good sense of most groups’ educational and socio-economic performance, criminality, voting patterns, etc. – there is no systematic collection of such data in France.
