In the second primary school I attended, I became friends with two brothers from Hong Kong who were respectively one and two years below me. Further, in the first secondary school I attended, I used to volunteer as a librarian and there were two girls from Malaysia who worked alongside me. A guy in both my Catholic primary school and first secondary school was half-English half-Mauritian.

There was also a half-Palestinian guy in my Science classes at the second secondary school, albeit he looked pretty White so I didn't realise he was such until someone else told me, as well as a Polish guy in my French and IT classes. At that same school I also met a Spaniard, a half-Colombian (Colombian father and English mother, the opposite of me) and an Aussie, albeit none of them were in any of my classes, so my claim in the OP that there weren't any Latin Americans in my classes still stands. One oddity in hindsight is that I met very few White-South Asian mixes, despite Leicester's ethnic composition. (On the other hand, in my IT class at that same school there was a half-Iranian and an Indian-Filipina mix).

Do you mean Mauritius or Mauritania? And although I didn't ask in the OP, what about foreign European ethnicities?

In Croatia all of my classmates were white. Later on University I had a half Gypsy friend and collague.

In USA it was the following

- Blacks.
- East Asians.
- South Asians.
- MENAs.
- Mixed-race Latin Americans.

Blacks - yes, but a minority (10-15%). Mostly Aframs and 2 Africans (from Namibia and Zimbabwe)
East Asians - yes, very few (below 5%). Mostly south Koreans, maybe some Chinese too but I'm not sure
South Asians - only 1 Indo-Guyanese
MENAs - no
Mixed race Latin Americans - yes, vast majority of students belonged to this group (like 70%). Mostly Puerto Ricans and Dominicans, with few South Americans (from Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Brazil) and few Mexicans.

Mauritius / Ile Maurice.

Plenty of Italian sounding names, few Spanish and Poles. In my sport club (football), lots of blacks and NA though already, but not in the schools i attended.

Maybe we had Egyptian and Filipino students too, but I can't remember after all these years, it's in fog now, if we had it was maybe 1 max 2 persons from these groups.

Funnily enough in my Catholic primary school, as well as all the other ethnicities I mentioned earlier, I also now recall a part-Croat boy and a girl from France (albeit the latter wasn't in any of my classes, but was very prominent because quite a few of the teachers would actually talk to her in French).

Congratulations Stearsolina - thanks to your time in New York, you're one of the few people in this thread whose diverse classes rivalled mine!

In my class uni class we had some Arab students.

From elementary to high class there were no foreigners in my class, except once there was a Moldavian student, apart from that pretty much every ethnicity within Turkey were present in my class, gypsies too, since it's Istanbul.
