Not at this point. According to the INSEE (National Institute for Statistics) , there are 19 million people who have immigration background on three generations in metropolitan France. Out of 65 million, this would amount to 69% being entirely of native stock. If you count oversea territories, you still have 66% people of French metropolitan origin. However, there are no official and accurate data like you have in English speaking countries (i.e : « white British » in the UK). Being French was always legally a question of citizenship instead of ethicity, unlike for instance in Germany. Moreover, the only ethnic statistics that have existed were the ones for Jews during the Vichy regime, which has created a taboo. It is possible to have estimates of French people’s ethnic background, but they make France a very complex mosaic. Within the native population proper, there are already six linguistic and regional minorities (Breton, Alsatian, Flemish, Basque, Catalan and Corsican). Som...

US’s white population declines for first time ever, 2020 census finds White population falls below 60%, underscoring what’s at stake as lawmakers begin drawing political maps Fri 13 Aug 2021 01.57 BST First published on Thu 12 Aug 2021 21.44 BST People walk in Santa Monica, California. The Census Bureau results showed that US metro areas accounted for almost all the country’s population growth. Photograph: Caroline Brehman/EPA America’s white population declined for the first time while US metro areas were responsible for almost all of the country’s population growth, according to groundbreaking new data released on Thursday by the US Census Bureau. Overall, the white-alone population fell by 8.6% since 2010, the bureau said on Thursday.

It was the first time that the non-Hispanic white population has fallen below 60% since the census began. Meanw...

If you're Native American, there's a good chance that you've thought a lot about blood quantum — a highly controversial measurement of the amount of "Indian blood" you have. It can affect your identity, your relationships and whether or not you — or your children — may become a citizen of your tribe. Blood quantum was initially a system that the federal government placed onto tribes in an effort to limit their citizenship. Many Native nations, including the Navajo Nation and the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, still use it as part of their citizenship requirements. The Difficult Math Of Being Native American Code Switch Love And Blood Quantum: Buy In Or Die Out? And how tribes use blood quantum varies from tribe to tribe. The Navajo Nation requires a minimum of 25 percent "Navajo blood," and Turtle Mountain requires a minimum of 25 percent of any Indian blood, as long as its in combination with some Turtle Mountain. Blood quantum minimums re...

The African Diaspora in Europe Today By Stephen Small June 15, 2018 2 *This post is part of our new blog series on Black Europe. This series, edited by Kira Thurman and Anne-Marie Angelo, explores what it means to bring the category of Black Europe to the foreground of scholarship on Europe and the Black Atlantic. The 2008 Marche des libertés demonstration in Paris celebrated the 160th anniversary of the 1848 abolition of slavery in France. The March also served to protest the continuing discrimination against Black people in France (Photo: looking4poetry, Flickr). In Europe today, non-Black people often ask—why are there so many Black people in Europe? But a far better question is ‘why are there so few Black people in Europe?’ The African diaspora in Europe began when Europeans first invaded and colonized Africa. Racist/sexist stereotypes and caricatures were first developed and disseminated across Europe before the United States and other nations across the Americas were ev...

Daniel Ramalho/For The Globe and Mail Black or white? It was a policy born of good intentions but has stirred up perplexing, often painful, questions: What makes a person black, or white? Is it facial features? Hair? Family? Or an experience of racism? And who gets to decide? Stephanie Nolen Latin America Bureau Chief Rio de janeiro Published December 11, 2016 This article was published more than 6 years ago. Some information may no longer be current. Comments Jacqueline Chaves checked the Internet every day, waiting to see test results posted – a pass would be the last step in her long road to a job as a social worker. Ms. Chaves, 23, had worked hard to get through a degree program at the competitive federal university in Belem do Para, a port city on the Amazon forest's Atlantic coast. There were many tough tests along the way but she wasn't a bit worried about this final one. It was an exam to assess whether she qualified for a position being reserved for an affirmativ...

Are North Africans (Morroco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya) considered white in Brazil? Nobody is considered “white” or “black” in Brazil based on nationality or even ancestry alone. They’re considered to be whatever they look like. Unlike the US, color or race in Brazil refers primarily to appearance rather than descent. For example, white persons in Brazil may have black ancestors while in the US, a tradition of hypodescent defines whites as persons with no black precursors (Harris 1964) So a North African who looks like this would definitely be considered white in Brazil: While a North African who looks like this would definitely not: For people in between these two extremes, it would depend on who you ask, but Brazilians don’t typically think too much about these things. This woman for instance would probably be described by most people as “morena” which just means she’s tanned and has black hair and has no racial or ethnic connotation: I'm an International Student from Braz...
