Africa is an incredible continent, known for its diversity and acceptance of differences. Over the years, Africa has welcomed migrants, workers, and inhabitants from all corners of the world. The continent is experiencing rapid growth, with certain regions already achieving high levels of economic development. Consequently, Africa attracts expatriates and citizens from across the globe. When discussing the white population in Africa, it’s important to note that we’re not referring to those who migrate to or reside in Africa temporarily.
Surprisingly, there is a population of white people who have been living in Africa for many years. While it may not seem logical, these individuals are often referred to as Africans. Apart from white people, there is also a sizable community of Asians and Arabs who identify as Africans. White people settled in Africa centuries ago, established families, and formed a new white community. Considering the increasing frequency of migrations, it’s likely that the number of white people in Africa will continue to rise.
