      The change is mostly due to Emigration + very high non white fertility rates.

      For example 800k pied noirs (Europeans in Algeria who were mainly Italian Spanish and French decent) left algeria for France in 1962 alone. (There were 1m europeans in Algeria in 1960)

      South africas non white population exploded due to high non white fertility rates, and many white South Africans emigrated after the fall of apartheid.

      500k Portuguese also left angola and Mozambique in the mid 70s.

      South Africa, Algeria, angola and Mozambique held the largest white populations in Africa. (by numbers) the rest of the countries shown here also mainly decreased due to emigration.

      I believer this defines white in a „my ancestors are literally from europe and a I follow a european culture.“

      If you look at it at „this person looks white and could pass as a spanaird, greek, or italian“ then the number is certainly far higher in north africa.

      The modern discourse regarding South Africa during apartheid would make you think that the population of White South Africans was way lower. I always assumed that South Africa during that period was at most 10% white.

      The numbers for Angola and Mozambique seem small — I thought Portuguese settlers/descendants of settlers approached ten percent of the population of each country at the time of their independence.

      Not sure if percentages are really the best way to convey the scale of this demographic development. The population of Africa has grown massively since the 60s, so even a hypothetical scenario in which the white population of Africa had somehow increased would have probably shown massively dropping percentages.

      Tbf,  lot of Berberis, arabs and moroccan look as white as southern Europeans

      The post headline is misleading as the map (and presumably the source) is about Europeans and those of European descent in Africa rather than Africa’s white population.

      Hmmm these countries are in a better state economically than in the 1960’s. Makes you think

      Hey OP, what is the definition of „white“ exactly? Because this map is meaningless unless you define exactly what you mean by the word „white“.

      it’s honestly crazy seeing the absolute massive drop-off in algeria right after 1962 tbh. the sheer scale of the pied-noir exodus is always wild to see actually visualized on a map like this.

      Mozambiquie 1960 is wrong, it’s much higher unless you don’t consider Portuguese to be caucasian

      Decolonization shouldn’t mean the end of diversity, but the beginning of equality. Sadly, that’s not how it has played out.

      I thought just about all the people that lived in North Africa were „white.“ Or at least that’s what the US Census Bureau tells me.

      So, I know it’s like, the least major thing here, but why is Botswana the only one basically unchanged?

      If you consider Turks as White, which in many times there are considered so, then North Africa has a large population of Turks and Turkish descendants, my family in particular being Algerian Turks, but culturally they are very arabized

      …. Oh, you’re Proud to be a ______,? fill in the blank. … How long have you been a _____ ? … 5 Generations? 500 years?, 1500 years?, 5,000?, 50,000? 500000? … „RACE“ and „ETHNICITY“ are TRANSIENT, DYNAMIC, EVER CHANGING, and TEMPORARY. … THINK BIGGER.
