Croatia is the Whitest Country in the World? Part 1 (2018)

Back in the 2018 World Cup, there was a very strange discussion in the French media after the French anti-racism organisation LICRA (International League Against Racism and Antisemitism) tweeted that the Croatian team was too white ahead of the World Cup Final. Nobody seemed to think that the Nigerian team was too black, by contrast.

Having lived in Croatia for 15 years at that point, mostly on a Dalmatian island, seeing non-white people was a rarity in my daily reality. Nothing right or wrong about that, just the way it was. It got me thinking about how many foreigners lived in Croatia, and just how homogenous Croatia was compared to other Caucasian countries in the world, and I published my findings on Total Croatia News - https://www.total-croatia-news.com/li...

This video is the first in a two-part series, and it deals with the data in that 2018 article. The second video (feel free to subscribe to receive it) will follow, looking at the data from 2023, just 5 years later, to see if and how Croatia is changing (spoiler alert - it is).
