Why are there so many blacks in the French national team ~ ~ ~ ~

There are many African immigrants. But at the same time, not only Africa, but also many descendants of the West Indies and Latin America. Because France is the largest colonial country in Africa and also has colonies in South America, French is popular in many African countries, so it is convenient to live and settle in France. Many players' ancestors came from these places, and France is a transit point for young African players. Many players were brought to France by French scouts when they were very young. After that, they survived.

For example, many players in the national team are now: the following is a partial list:
