02.Where do people of European ancestry live today?

People of European ancestry, also called people of the white race, have their roots in Europe. But over the centuries, our people spread far beyond the continent, and today we live all across the world.


The largest communities are found in:

Europe – our homeland, where the culture, traditions, and values of our ancestors were born and still thrive.

North America (United States, Canada) – where people of European descent built nations that became leaders in freedom, innovation, and influence.

South America (Brazil, Argentina) – where generations of Europeans created vibrant cultures and strong communities.

Australia and New Zealand – lands shaped by European settlers, who brought with them their spirit, knowledge, and traditions.

South Africa – where Europeans established communities that continue to carry our heritage on the African continent.


No matter where we live, people of European ancestry are united by the same history, values, and culture. Our ancestors explored continents, built nations, and sacrificed for future generations. Today, we carry their legacy with pride.


To know where we live is to see how far our heritage has reached. Across every continent, people of European ancestry remain connected—one family, one culture, and one story that continues to shape the modern world.
