"Is France not a European country? Why are the players on the field more African than Africa?"

Let’s talk about a social topic.

Whether you are watching football or basketball, you will definitely feel this way or be puzzled:

"Isn't France a European country? Why are the players on the court more African than Africa?"

This push, let's talk about this topic.

It must be said that black athletes in West African generally have a higher proportion of fast muscle fibers, longer limbs and Achilles tendons, and higher bone density.

These characteristics help to improve explosive power and stride, and form advantages in confrontational events such as sprinting, jumping, and basketball.

However, athletes in the East African plateau area have long-term adaptation to hypoxic environments and have stronger cardiopulmonary functions and slow muscle fiber endurance, making them perform well in mid- and long-distance running events.

They are more suitable for fighting sports.

The 12 French men's basketball team this time look like they are all black players, such as Abussele, Saar, Culibali, Francesco...

If the game is France vs. Britain, fans who don't know the situation may think they are watching the African Cup.

Where is the French men's football team? There were also many 11 players on the court, with only one or two white players appearing in the game.

None of these players are tanned:

Mbappe's father is from Cameroon and his mother is from Algeria; Chuameni has dual nationalities between France and Cameroon; Dembele's father is from Mali and his mother is from Senegal...

Whether it is basketball and football, French society is experiencing a subtle "blackification". Why is this happening in

?

mainly originated from changes in France's historical colonial relations, immigration policies and population structure.

1. Brothers who know history will know that France was once the second largest colonial empire in the world, second only to Britain. Its colonies in Africa (such as Algeria, Senegal, Mali, etc.) brought a large number of immigrants to France.

2. The two world wars led to a sharp decline in France's population and a serious shortage of labor. After the war, France relaxed its immigration policy and a large number of African immigrants poured in, filling the labor gap.

For example, France issued a decree in 1946, granting French citizenship to colonial residents and attracting a large number of black African immigrants.

3. The loose naturalization policy after the 1970s (can be naturalized after living for 5 years). Accelerate African-American players into the professional system.

4. France advocates multiculturalism.

National youth training camps such as Clay Fontaine are open to the whole people. African-American players with outstanding physical talents are more likely to be selected. The advantages of black players in terms of speed and explosive power are obviously more suitable for football needs.

5. Judging from the birth rate.

The proportion of blacks in Paris is 60%, Arabs are 25%, and whites are less than 15%; the proportion of black newborns in the country exceeds 60%, and the growth rate of Africans among the young population is the fastest.

This structural change is bound to be reflected in the younger fields such as football.

The descendants of African immigrants tend to change their classes through football or basketball due to their physical fitness, relative fairness in sports and the scarcity of upward channels.

will change your destiny.

Finally, let me say something else.

Although the joining of black athletes has indeed brought a lot of honor to French sports, everyone can see the progress of French basketball. The team's world rankings are much better than those of Parker's leadership.

Paris Olympics, they played with the American Dream Team to the end. If it weren't for the super god of Ku...

But...

In recent years, conflicts in French society have frequently occurred due to immigration issues, reflecting the deep social contradictions brought about by population problems.

Immigration groups are mostly concentrated in suburban areas with backward economy and poor public security, and have long faced employment discrimination, lack of educational resources and housing conditions...

The government faces a dilemma in immigration management: on the one hand, strengthening the repatriation efforts; on the other hand, the integration policy is slowly advancing, and the multicultural coexistence mechanism has not yet been improved.

France has had weak economic growth in recent years, limited employment opportunities, and both local residents and immigrants are facing employment pressure.

The core problems of employment discrimination and inequality in educational resources have long existed, and some black immigrants directly shouted "Get out of Paris"...

So, we should correctly view the pros and cons.
