Not specific enough I think but...

If the world were 100 people

There would be:

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from North and South America
08 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be nonwhite, 30 white
59% of the entire world's wealth would belong to only 6 people
and all 6 would be citizens of the United States
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
01 would be near death
01 would be near birth
Only 1 would have a college education
99 of them will not see this message,
because only 1 would have a computer.

O.K I'll admit that those 100 might live in cleethorpes.

Sorry to be a party pooper but those statistics refer to nationalities not race. Aces original question was about skin colour. So you would need to include all non-whites living in Europe, USA etc etc etc. Then theres the whole of Africa and Asia. Whites definately a minority if by white you mean of European origin or caucasian.

And even then you would have the problem which Alec mentioned of determining whos "white" and whos "black" and who is any of the myriad of shades in between. Inuits(eskimos) now which catagory are they in? Native Americans? You see the problem? Lets just say people of European extraction which includes "white" americans, australians, south africans etc are the minority.

I saw a documentary which said all life started in Africa but thats another kettle of fish altogether.

Technically Native Americans, including Inuits, are Mongoloid - that's the old technical term anyway. Don't know what the correct term is now, still less the politically correct one.

Mines a coke Ace lol.
