The term Afro European often refers to people who come from regions that are geographically south of Sahara, or former colonies.
The concept of "Afro-Europeans" is used on the model of African Americans by associations and movements militating in favor of equal opportunities for black, mixed-race and mulatto people from overseas territories and Europe.
