1900 Wikipedia (citing historical demographers) states areas populated by European-descent people were 36% of world pop (~594M of 1.65B).

Today (2025, world ~8.2B) No UN global race data exists. Estimates for European-ancestry population: 800M–1.3B (10–16%), with ~8–12% common in stricter counts excluding mixes/immigrants.

I exaggerated a bit but the math checks out

Back in 1900, it wasn't just European-descent that lived in Europe either. We were as multicultural back then as we are now. Travel has existed for a long time.

So what if other parts of the world had a bigger population growth? This isn't a competition.

There is only one race you should care about: the HUMAN race.

Everything thing else are variations that aren't relevant.

Your math doesn't check out. It is just racist-baiting and full of backwards thinking.

Yeah and not all people have 10 fingers. A good indicator that someone is either a moron or trying to intentionally mislead is when they use a small minority to try disprove a generalisation.

So you admit my numbers do hold validity?

There is only one race you should care about: the HUMAN race.

Yeah and I want all member of that race to be treated equally ie no free shit for your identity.

Your math doesn't check out. It is just racist-baiting and full of backwards thinking.

The beautiful part of math is that u can objectively prove things vague claims it doesn't check out without evidence is bullshit.
