Of the countries which have a firmly European-based culture and identity, which one has least white/European people? I'm guessing New Zealand where white Europeans in 2006 made up 59% of the population. Giving the immigration boom NZ is experiencing it won't be long before that number is 50%.

I thought New Zealand is like 78% White/European. The United States or Argentina are more likely to be the least White Euro based country.

I would say the US. While demographically very white, their culture had non European influences. For example there is African influence on their music and cuisine and Amerindian influence on their politics.

I personally think it's the other way around. Demographically it will soon be a majority non-white country, but its dominant culture is still firmly and almost exclusively European.

It depends on the region. While the majority of the US culture is Euro derived. There is an obivous African/Amerindian influence in the southern part of the country(music/food), and a Mexican influence in the Southwest.

I think in those cases that's mostly because Mexicans and African-Americans are two large, fairly homogeneous non-white groups traditionally concentrated in certain parts of the country. But as far as I can tell white, black and Asian teenagers in San Diego, California are not radically different from white, black and Asian teenagers in Providence, Rhode Island. Mainstream Southern culture probably does have some black influences, though.

Anyway, I think we might have to properly define culture first, because the equation obviously changes when you include popular youth culture, where there seem to be more non-white cultural influences...but even then we would have to decide how we define cultural expression by 'Westernized' non-whites. It's all pretty muddy, actually.

We aren't that homogeneous. Most New World nations aren't that homogeneous.

Brazil

One must first define the ambigious term. White in what sense? Caucasoid? Europid? Majority? Founded by?

South Africa was...

Oh. Nevermind.

I'd have to go with the consensus and say Brazil, probably.

Brazil isn't a "white" country though, culturally, it's an Afro/European one with significant Amerindian and to a lesser extent East and West Asian influence (the rest is non-Portuguese European).
