Are White people a stateless nation?

Latest comment: 9 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Whites seem to fit the definition of a stateless people: An ethnic group with no sovereign state of its own. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-13981-70 (talk) 22:15, 4 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

I agree. If every racial and ethnic group is entitled to its own ethno-state, then that should apply to Whites as well. I capitalize White just as Wikipedia capitalizes Black. ~2026-40603-73 (talk) 20:38, 20 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

The "List of Stateless Ethnic Groups" link shouldn't link to List of active autonomist and secessionist movements. The Roma are stateless, but they aren't a secessionist group.

Forgotten European Stateless Nations

There is a large number of Stateless Nations that I propose can be added based on these two books, both of which have many sources within them to back up each entry.

(https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=OLKKVXgEpkoC&lpg=PP1&dq=stateless%20nations&pg=PR5#v=onepage&q=stateless%20nations&f=false) and (https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=NwvoM-ZFoAgC&pg=PA1&dq=abazin+nation&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiWh4DQzdvcAhWwx4UKHWP-B-EQ6AEIKTAA#v=onepage&q=abazin%20nation&f=false)

These are the first five additions I would propose. If those two sources are not enough then I can send more to back up these peoples being called 'Stateless nations'.
