Race can be important, and observed for other than negative conotations.
On the contrary for example; in the United States it is measured to protect minorities, not scrutinize them. There are also important measures including health and medicine. By counting race you can more aptly find better methods of treatment for certain populations.
So unless you knew where the black people in France where living, it would be more difficult to direct resources and flow of services for this group. Their increased susceptibility to sickle-cell disease for example is one variable.
It's foolish to not see the importance in measuring a population by as many variables as possible.
