The indigenous French are a declining minority in many parts of France, in the main due to mass immigration and a higher birth rate among immigrants.
It has never been possible to get the exact figures, given that in France statistics about ethnicity are secret.
However someone has managed to find out how to get these hidden stats, and reveal just how many black people there are in any given region.
They looked at the number of babies at risk of drepanocytosis, a genetic illness that affects only Blacks.
We now for the first time a study published revealing how many blacks are living in a given region.
To look at the figures, follow this link:

Maybe someone should submit FOI requests to an NHS trust asking how many people are at risk of drepanocytosis in the area covered by that NSH trust and therefore obtain a more accurate figure of the immigrant population in the UK.
Not only would those figures be more up to date that the ones given by the census but they may include some thousands of illegal immigrants the official figures ignore.
