Do you have something else you want to say? Because it sounds like you're just trying to allude to racism

  no sure why people downvoted you. Maybe people are unaware of how stupid the french state has become when dealing with immigration. Yes, they did write a text saying that races officially don't exist, as there's just one human race ( as if this decision would solve any issue, whether that's racism or immigrant integration)

  People probably don’t understand this is a joke

I think any negative connotation there is subjective.

Just been in France recently. The radio really plays only French-African music. At least 90% of the time. I don't think it's anything racist about that. It just that France changed and I think most of Europe will change as well due immigration. We will see more African, Asian and maybe middle-eastern culture.

    Like London, Paris is really quite big. While the city is constantly changing, all the old neighborhoods haven’t suddenly lost their identity. This fear of losing “Paris proper” is completely overblown.

    Culture is always in a state of flux. It’s not sad, it just is. I’m not sad I won’t get to see Victorian London. In the narrative arc of humanity things keep getting better, not worse.

      I'm not sure how common this preference is. I'm personally always sad when unique cultures diminish or disappear and this seems to be a not unusual sentiment judging by popular media. Whether this is the Cherokee or Victorian England there are valuable and interesting things and losing them is sad.

        Victorian England will forever live on in Sherlock Holmes novels, Ripperana, Dickens Fairs, steampunk. There is an article about Victorian customs on the front page. It is literally one of the most overexposed, overplayed, and overused historical eras.
