We do know exactly what you were saying and meaning

""The place is a s**thole, very high North African immigrant population and the worst French city by far for drugs and gun crime."

The second half of the sentence very clearly explains why the first is true.

But if you were really such a straight-talker then you wouldn't have at first tried to deny thinking that a high North African population is a bad thing.
