^ France is still paying a little bit for it's hypocrisy and massive deception from the past. It's still hard for some African immigrants, especially the less successful of them coming from the most corrupted and impoverished countries to forgive a country whose motto famously promises "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" while having been a racist colonial power. The Germans will never have to face that kind of challenges, that makes a difference.

Besides, massive immigration from other continents is something more recent in Germany, whereas it began in the 1950s over here, due to our connections to former colonies. We've had to deal with millions of immigrants from remote countries and real exotic cultures for longer.

That said, France has been widely redeveloping its roughest suburbs, and you see more and more French people born to Afro immigrants who're normally integrated to business, now. So your segregation stories are getting a little outdated. Things are changing over the course of time, right?
