Who are the minorities and which ethnic group is the majority, in the world sense?

Question

Not looking at America, but at the entire human population and the world in general, can you list the races in order or majority to minority?

Ps. This isn't a racist statement but an honest question : ) Thanks guys...

Answer 1

Even deciding what is an ethnic group can be tough. Lots of Chinese (1.3 billion); lots of Indians (1.03 billion). These are the only two nations that have crossed the one billion mark. There are about 820,000 Europeans. There are 6.5 billion humans living on the planet at the moment.

Answer 2

I guess the majority of people in the world come from Asia, considering the huge population of China and India. However, their majority does not make them the most powerful force in the world; I'm pretty sure USA is. Minorities are Indigenous people from around the world; I guess their world is quickly dissapearing and it's getting more difficult to find a full-blooded Indigenous person. Africans and Inuit people also come to mind when talking about minorities.

Answer 3

If we are to assume the traditional three race notion, it would be:

1) Caucasoid
2) Mongoloid
3) *******

Please note that many of the peoples of the world, who some might not traditionally regard as "white", such as Arabs, Indians, Middle Easterners, North Africans, West Asians and most Hispanics are, indeed, Caucasian.

Answer 4

I am pretty sure the Chinese are the majority the minority are some tribe in S. America.
