In the Western Hemisphere, Black people also are found in high concentrations in the urban regions of the United States and the Bible Belt region of the Southern United States, the Caribbean and sizeable portions of Latin America, including Belize, Panama, with Brazil having the highest proportion (and overall number) of Black people in the West (although a significant proportion of Brazilians of considerable African descent do not consider themselves to be Black).

In Asia, black people inhabit Yemen,

some areas of Iraq (especially Basra),

much of Nepal (especially Rana Tharu),

the Andaman Islands ( Negritos ),

the indigenous Dalit population of India (numbering 160 million) and the larger Dravidian population of India (though not all Dravidians consider themselves black, a sizeable proportion phenotypically reflect their African heritage and acknowledge it).

There are more recent Afro-Indian groups, such as the small group of 20-30,000 black Siddis in the Gujarat province of India,

the Kaffiri of the island of Sri Lanka, and small communities of Sheedis in the coastal districts of the southern province of Sindh and neighboring Baluchistan.

Thousands of Sheedis also inhabit Karachi, Pakistan's largest city.

Black people indigenously inhabit the island of Papua, Aboriginals inhabit Australia,

and Melanesians inhabit various islands of the Pacific Rim.

In addition, there are black-jewish cultures in East India (see Bene Israel), Ethiopia, and Mozambique (see Lemba).
