Free Masons are now all over the earth, and don't have specific nationalities or races.
They originated in Europe, as an organization of like men who understood they had a responsibility to their communities and organized to help them.
People demonize the free masons because they are secretive, but don't realize that most of the traditions that we all practice are strange and secret to most of the other people on earth.
The big difference between free masons and regular Christians, is that the free masons actually provide tangible support for their communities, rather than mostly supporting their own membership.

The origins of freemasonry are 'cloudy' at best. Today there are freemasons in most countries around the world and from every religion and walk of life. There is no race or nationality of freemasonry.

It is not a nationality...it is an organization...it's a trade union, according to some. More below
