White Trinidadians and Tobagonians (sometimes referred as Euro-Trinidadians and Tobagonians or local-whites) are Trinidadians of European descent. However, while the term "White Trinidadian" is used to refer collectively to all Caucasians who are Trinidadian, whether by birth or naturalization, the term "local-white" is used to refer more specifically to Trinidad-born Caucasians and, in particular, those who trace their roots back to Trinidad's early settlers.[citation needed]
White Trinidadians and Tobagonians account for less than 1 percent of the population of Trinidad and Tobago. However, the classification is primarily a superficial description[2] based on phenotypic description, as opposed to genotypical classification.[citation needed]
Most white Trinidadians and Tobagonians are of Portuguese stock, given that Trinidad and Tobago was once colonized by the Spanish, the French, and the British.[3]
European Trinidadians are often referred to as French Creoles, even if are they are of non-French ancestry such as Spanish, British, Portuguese, or German descent.[4]
