No, that's not what I meant at all. > we only actively consider white people to be intellectually superior (or no: only intellectually superior at programming. european brains are more suited for coding than african ones). I don't think that's true at all. My point is that even if it was, that wouldn't make "europeans brains" "superior" to "african brains". > But don't worry, this widespread belief certainly doesn't impact any of our hiring decisions or our society whatsoever. In fact, it impacts our society so little, we've made it illegal to gather any statistics about how it might impact our society. For people that don't know, racial statistics are forbidden by law in France. And you're right, that means that we don't have precise data like in the USA on which people are represented where. These statistics could help affirmative action, or help arguments in favor of anti discrimination law.
