Which country's IBD is more possible to break into for a foreigner?

Consider I'm an East-Asian male with a French or German target school master (GE/MIF). And I'm starting to learn French or German before going to Europe. Which will be my best bet? Pairs or Frankfurt? 

Also, seems French Bschools are more targeted in London.

So 1. ESSEC/ESCP/EDHEC GE pursuing London/Paris IBD

Or 2. FSFM/WHU MSF pursuing Frankfurt IBD?

Thanks for your time and have a nice day!
