I believe France does not collect race information from its citizens (or perh inhabitants in general). If true, it'd be interesting for an outside observer[1] to see if the omission of race makes a difference.

That said, it'd be interesting to see how other "algorithmic bias" might play out in more or less racially homogenous, if not entirely ethnically homogenous populations --for example Rwanda, Finland, S Korea. Things like class, neighborhood, education etc.

[1]Given they themselves don't officially collect race information.
