I knew SA and Zimbabwe had whites, but didn't realize a hefty community lived in Angola. Not talked about as much for some reason.

They make up 2% of the nation of Angola.

For reference, Jews make up 1.7% of the US population.

So there are more whites in angola as % than jews in America. And jews are considered a key, substantial minority group here.

Odd how we hear so much about whites in SA and Zimbabwe, nobody does documentaries on the 351,000 whites living in Angola.

It made the papers quite frequently back in the 70s and 80s...... it was on the nightly news reports at least every couple weeks at one point.

Specifically about the white people or just about the wars in general?

It was a Portuguese colony until the seventies. The US and Soviet Union fought a proxy war there, with Cuban 'volunteers' on one side and US backed South African mercenaries on the other side.

Side note: returning Cuban troops brought back Dengue Fever, which has since spread to other parts of the western hemisphere.

My pops worked for an oil company in Cabinda and was on the rigs offshore. Can tell you for a fact that the 350k is almost entirely a result of the oil and gas industry

Luanda is booming. I bet most Americans have never heard of it, and would be shocked by its modern high rises.

Namibia has roughly 30,000 citizens of German descent.

It's a pretty thriving community and culture.Quite the Octoberfest
and they're also doing much better than whites in SA and Zimbabwe

Probably all came in to work the oil fields. Can't trust the locals with something that important
