I agree. One can't ""have it all"", and there must be consistency in what is counted. Either 1) only citizens of the French Republic, or 2) ethnic French people, which would also include those with French ancestry/ethnicity which are citizens of other countries, but exclude those who are descendants of other ethnic groups (i.e. descendants of immigrants). To include both these categories is inconsitent and unacceptable (and in a sense, rather imperialistic, or even chauvenistic). As it was intended, it was meant for the 2) category to be in the various ""people"" articles, and the 1) category to be in the ""Demographics of..."" articles (Demographics of France). But as said, a consistency must be established, as the current state is not appropriate. If it is indeed so that ethnicity is an utterly ""banned"" term in France, I would suggest to simply delete this entire article and/or merge it with Demographics of France. -  "
