This isn't a racist thread but more of a reaction to those who think everyone from Western Europe should know a Black or Muslim.
Most immigration from Africa and Middle East (including Northern/Muslim South Asia) tends to lead to settlement in large urban cities, hence most Muslims and Blacks are concentrated in cities like Belgium, London or Paris.
Hindu Asians and East Asians tend to spread out more into the towns and villages, but they are far fewer in number compared to Muslims or Blacks.
This means that most Western Europeans will never spend much time around Muslims or Blacks.
I have a question for those of you who HAVE BEEN or LIVE IN Europe how many non whites are really there. Like I've heard stories about people go to London and wouldn't even know it's London because there are so many foreign people. Or like a village in so in so is almost completely Muslim. So I guess I there really MAJOR foreign populations in Europe. A percentage would be cool. Thanks!

Utterly nonsense.
At least in West Germany, every place with more than 1,000 inhabitants has several Muslims. And in every place with more than 10,000 inhabitants you will find a few black people.
"Hindu Asians and East Asians" are surely more concentrated in larger cities, and not spread out. Your description is so absurd.
The vast majority of people in Western Germany get in contact to Muslims almost on a daily basis.
And BTW, Belgium is a country, not a city.

Europeans often claim to be more multi cultural than the USA but that is just not remotely correct.
Comparing my hometown in Germany (pop about 49k) with it's American sister city in Massachusetts (pop about 40k). My hometown is hands-down more multi cultural. The American sister city has more racial diversity (much more black and hispanic people), but they all live the same culture, the American culture. Immigrants in the U.S. get assimilated very fast, they quickly quit their native culture. Not sure why they lost their roots so fast, maybe brainwashed by patriotism indoctrination?
Middle Easterns would technically be considered white (especially those from the Levant area or certain Iranian regions). Mostly in The Mediterranean sense with skin tone varying to being very light to tan.
And Muslims are not a race! They are followers of a religion!

We don't distinguish people by races. That seems to be a solely American concept. We collect data about the percentage of people with a migration background. 20.3% of the population in German had a immigration background (data for 2014). Frankfurt, Nürnberg, München and Stuttgart are the cities with the highest percentage (40-55%) of people with a immigration background.
