Question

i thought Europeans were supposed to be Caucasian

Answer 1

French colonies in Africa.
No, Europeans aren't supposed to be Caucasian. I don't know where you heard that from?

Answer 2

France Comes In Europe Not In Africa , But The Black Players Are The Good One's Except For Zidane Who Is Not Upto The Mark This World Cup.
There Are Players Who Are Born In Africa But Play For France Like
1) Boumsong Born in Cameroon
2) Viera Born In Senegal
3) Claude Makélélé Born In Democratic Republic of the Congo
They Are From African Origin But Play For France

Answer 3

What kind of question is that, get some geography lessions France is part of Europe the continent and Africa is a continent on it own nothing to do with France.
Not all Europeans are Caucasian its like saying all Irish have red hair
We all speak English aswell !!!!!!!

Answer 4

Generally speaking yes, but France (due to it's colonies in Africa that are now independent nations) has a large number of French born Africans. That is part of the reason for the riots across France in late 2005

Answer 5

Europeans are not 'supposed' to be anything. If a black person/asian person/ whatever kind of person moves to Euope and has children, those children are European. Full stop.

France has a fairly high proportion of black people in the country because France colonised a lot of countries in Africa. And, these players may be of African decent but they're French. Your question has a definitely rascist slant.

Answer 6

The question would have been better phrased. How many players in the French squad were not actaully born in France (ie mainland European France which is just across the channel from England).

Answer 7

There are alot of folks who reside in France and have families there that are of African origin, so If they are citizens whether acquired or by birth and are playing for thier current country, why should it matter the skin color or where they originated? Like many of the regions of the world, Europe too is a melting pot with different cultures and ethnic groups.

Answer 8

France held colonies in Africa for many years, so there are still alot of immigrants to France from those countries. Keeps the football teams and restaurants well staffed.

Answer 9

Things aren't what they used to be, with all the "multiculturalism and multi-racial this-n-that. Most Europeans were Caucasian, but they're shipping in a lot of others...
Part of the problem is, most "white" people in Europe are not reproducing--apparently, sex for fun is more important; it's gonna be a big problem, if it isn't already.

Answer 10

I assume you mean that there are a lot of black people in the French team?

They play for France because they're French! not caucasian....
