The percentage of the global population made up by white people has declined from 40% to 7% in like 50years.

The world has never been 40% white. The world is not currently 7% white. Is this what PragerU is telling you? ๐Ÿ™„

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: 800Mโ€“1.3B (10โ€“16%), with ~8โ€“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.
