non-European
From other continents
Non-European describes people, places, cultures, or things not from or connected to Europe.
The term often appears in historical and political contexts discussing colonialism, immigration, or cultural difference: non-European immigrants, non-European traditions.
It defines by exclusion rather than shared identity, grouping vastly different peoples and places under what they are not.
