Well, we do have about 12% black people living in Luxembourg (most of them capeverdians, but other African regions are quickly growing in numbers). That's about the same number as in the US, which reach 13.4% of the US population.

Still, BLM wouldn't make any sense here - but not due to not being enough black people in the country, but rather because there are no policies which would warrant any protests by colored people. We have no racial profiling of any kind (strictly outlawed) or even consider different skin colors as a different race to begin with. There are no differences in how black people or people of any other ethnicity are treated in Luxembourg. Sure, there's always some people with prejudices, but outside of those, no one cares what your skin color is.

I'm looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Luxembourg and not finding much on an African population... Help me out here.

Like I said, we don't do racial profiling, so that 12% was an official estimation a couple years ago. I'll get you a source when I find it back.

We just count by nationality, and since many people of sub-Saharan African origin (African people from north of the Sahara desert are not black) came in the 1960-2000 timeframe, and many of them have since acquired the Luxembourgish nationality and/or had children which chose to become Luxembourgers instead of the nationality that their families came from originally, it's impossible to use those raw numbers for any racial statistics.
