White Bahamians
(Redirected from White Bahamian)
European Bahamians or Bahamians of European Descent are Bahamians whose ancestry is from the continent of Europe. Most are from the British Puritans and American Loyalists who arrived in 1649 and 1783. There were lots of White Bahamians in the 18th century, but now they are less than 10% of the Bahamian population.[4]
