Reading up on this, it seems the main reason In countries like South Africa, Namibia and Kenya, for the general trend, is lower birthrates than the native populations, more than anything else. But cases such as Algeria, Zimbabwe and the Congo are almost entirely due to emigration.

I assume you mean European, as historically North Africans have been considered white
Now do Europes African population for 1960 and today
I’ve spent some time in North Africa and I just want to say that there is a not insignificant number of Europeans who are relocating to Morocco for the lower cost of living, including digital nomads and retirees. I don’t know what the numbers are but they exist.
Why don’t we consider North Africans, Barbers, Arabs and so on, white?
You have several mistakes in word ethic cleansing.
For Algeria and Madagascar and North Africa there was lots of racia violence that drove out minorities like Jews and Europeans
What’s the deal is Madagascar?
In Ecuatorial Guinea the white were expulsed
Dumb question but are Lebanese counted white in this map?

Is that a genocide then? I mean the Portuguese were in Angola and Mozambique for 500 years so isn’t that kind of “naturalized”?
In the UK you can arrive on a holiday or simple transit visa, but then just push out a baby on the island and from then on are entitled to a vast array of rights and privileges. From “passing through” to “I’m British” just like that!
Well, I was born in China but I’ve got white hair and light blue eyes so when I tell ppl I’m Chinese they laugh at me. Especially Chinese people.
So how does it work? You can only pick an identity or nationality if you’re not white? Who makes the rules?
Go to a place like e.g. Tunisia then and tell them they are black.

Can we make another one of Europe?
I think Angola is at 1% now
Hah — Botswana never had apartheid and the European minority hasn’t fled.
Surprised South Africa is so low now, there must have been quite a diaspora
Interesting that you don’t mention that the biggest factor of “white” decline is just the end of European Colonialism and the Colonial people going back to their country of origin in Europe.
Broad nonsensical (whether culturally, genetically etc) racial categories lasting into the modern era in even the most “progressive” of spaces is frankly insane
Funny how with posts related to native Americans the response is a usual shrug and “Well everyone else did it” or with that one post about Balkan Turks the response is “Well how did they get there?”
But with this, it’s treated as something to be lamented and saddened over
(This isn’t me condoning any but rather just noticing the response and the difference response both seem to get)
It’s hard to believe there were so few Portuguese in Mozambique in 1960.
Botswana is consistently recognized by Transparency International as the least corrupt country in Africa.
Draw your own conclusions.
20% wow
I thought it was much smaller than that, how did they not manage to maintain the apartheid?
Also, why did these numbers plummet so much everywhere
Hmm, I’d thought that the white population of the Portuguese colonies maxed out significantly higher than this.
Why did Botswana retain most of its white population?
I hear South Africa is thriving
The post WW2 decolonization was extremely sloppy
I’ll be curious of Asian (South and East) populations in Africa then and now.
They still speak German (albeit a tiny fraction) in Namibia to this day
Woaw interesting
Huge change in Morocco
Do they not get treated well in Africa?
Meanwhile the Black population has gone up alot in Europe
In the case of Zimbabwe they never reached 1m and many simply left for countries like Australia South Africa and New Zealand.
