For many, Europe is becoming a really diverse place! Here in INED Research we have concluded by 2030 many countries will drop greatly in European percentage ....

Countries By European or White Percentage 2010
Austria: ~91.7%
Belgium: ~89.5%
Denmark: 94.8%
France: ~86.4%
Germany: 89.6%
Ireland: 94.8%
Italy: 97.1%
Netherlands: 84.6%
Norway: 92.5%
Poland: 99.5%
Portugal: 98.9%
Spain: 93.8%
Sweden: ~89.4%
Switzerland: ~92.0%
United Kingdom: 87.1%


Countries By European Percentage 2030
Austria: ~85.2%
Belgium: ~82.7%
Denmark: 91.9%
France: ~81.6%
Germany: 85.4%
Ireland: 91.5%
Italy: 92.8%
Netherlands: 79.6%
Norway: 87.6%
Poland: 99.4%
Portugal: 96.5%
Spain: 93.7%
Sweden: ~74.0%
Switzerland: ~87.0%
United Kingdom: 78.9%


This is a demographic change that will change Europe's cultural landscape
We already see some European cities almost at half European origin, like Rotterdam (53%), The Hague (56%), and London (59%).
And some more down the line, Brussels (63%), Paris (65%), Malmo (69%), Amsterdam (68%), Stockholm (71%), and a few English cities ranging from 55% to 80% White like Manchester, Slough, Birmingham, and Luton.

Other countries like USA will drop from 63% European to 55% European, Canada from 76% to 65% and Australia from 81% to 66% in the same time frame ... New Zealand will drop from 72% to 65% European.

Hardly. Look at some of those projected numbers: they're still in the 90+% range, and mid-to-high 80's. Not exactly earth-shaking.

How are you defining "European"? Are Hispanics "European"? Are Mexican-Americans "European", and what about the rest of the immigration from Latin America, what category/ies do they fall into? How are you arriving at that 55% figure?

First of all, for a European country to be below 95% white is impressive, so I call that diverse! Honestly...

Im using White Non-Hispanic as most do not classify Mestizos as purely European... I dont really know what percent of Latin Americans are purely European so I just stick to White-Non Hispanic.

In 1990 America was 73% White, then 67% White in 2000, and now 63% White... so projections by UN put America at 59% White by 2020 and 55% White by 2030... whites will further drop to 51% by 2040, and 47% by 2050...

OK, this makes sense if you're counting most of the immigration from Latin America as non-White. But this isn't news. This demographic change has been predicted for a couple of decades now, in the US.

But the US part of my post is literally the least thing im talking about... the title is EUrope, im just showing the racial change in other regions to compare it with Europe.

Why would it be good or bad? It's just different.

Well it depends. If you have ALgerians and Moroccans coming over and causing trouble.. then its horrible, but with skilled forces from Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceanic islands means good.
