    What percentage of EU population are PoC? What percent of them emigrated in the last 10 years? This article seems ridiculous.

      From the article:

      From the article:

      The parliament, whose record on representing racial minorities has always been dismal, now counts only 20 MEPs of colour, equivalent to 2.8% of the overall total of 720 newly elected MEPs. That is down from 3.8% last time around – and when you consider the fact that people of colour make up at least 10% of EU citizens, it makes a mockery of the EU parliament’s claim to be the voice of European citizens.

        I think they mean what percentage of the EU's PoC population has emigrated [from non-EU countries to EU countries] within the last decade. That is, how much of the EU's PoC population is "recent"...

        I think they mean what percentage of the EU's PoC population has emigrated [from non-EU countries to EU countries] within the last decade. That is, how much of the EU's PoC population is "recent" immigrants as opposed to people who have been EU residents for more than a decade.

        But that's just how I read the question and it's possible I'm wrong.

    Well, at least they look like they have some people who are younger than 50. At least some diversity there if nothing else.
