In France, it is illegal to assign a race to people and/or collect data on people based upon the race you have assigned them. This was a common response in civilized democracies to reduce the racism that caused the holocaust. The reasoning by French social scientists is that assigning a race to someone is a prerequisite to racism. It is a slippery slope toward bigotry to first overcome people's natural resistance to having a race assigned to them then to get them to accept stereotypes and tropes about their assigned race.
This is the far left liberal extremism that is increasing racism in our country. It is also unique to our country, causing us to become more isolated from anti-racist civilized democracies that reject identity politics as racism.
When the French want to talk about smoking, they talk about smoking, not Black people. Black people and white people don't exist there as a social construct but cigarettes do.
