Myself, I don't know about that. Ethnic or religious statistics is not allowed by the Constitution of our Republic, and I think it's fine.
I live in Maisons-Alfort, a southeast suburb of Paris very close to it. We have the world's oldest and most prestigious college specialized in veterinarian medicine here in Maisons-Alfort, founded in 1765.

It is also the most selective thing in the world. Like if you're not a passionate biologist as of age of 10, you won't be able to get in there. It is ultra elitist.
I usually work in Central Paris and bike whenever weather is easy, that's most often the case. I love biking. It is very good for me. That's how I spend my aggressiveness and physical energy.
Here in my neighborhood, we have Whites, Blacks, Jews, Muslims, Indians and their strange Hinduism that I can't really understand yet, a lot of Asians... Ivry-sur-Seine and the 13th arrondissement's China Town are nearby.
We have everything here in Maisons-Alfort, that's a moderately Conservative inner suburb of Paris in Val-de-Marne.
I am very pleased to see diversity in my suburb. To me, it means work, generosity and creativity.
Most locals are open-minded Catholics like myself, though.
