English term or phrase: non-white races
It was the alleged inferiority of the non-white races that supposedly legitimised taking over countries and subordinating them to second class status.

Actualment: Va ser la presumpte inferioritat de les races no blanques que justificava que en prenguessin el poder dels països i els subordinessin a un estatut de segona classe.

Bé, sé que queda molt malament. No trobo millor manera de dir "non-white races".

races diferents de la blanca
Explanation:
És una altra opció. Però, com que a la frase anterior a l'esmentada segurament ja s'hi anomena la raça blanca, jo posaria "les altres races".

no caucàsiques


Explanation:
Una idea. Com que "raça caucàsica" es el que normalment entemen per "raça blanca", suposo que et pot servir.

Salutacions,

de color


Explanation:
Ja sé que aquesta expressió no és "políticament" correcta, però es fa servir molt (massa pel meu gust), i crec que és una altra opció vàlida.
Sort!!

Ja sé que els que som \"blancs\", també som de color, però això es diu, i molt, malgrat que sigui políticament incorrecte, com deia al meu comentari.

Els blancs també són de color. Mireu la vostra pell. És segur que no sou "blanca" pertot arreu. Donat que el va escriure Diane Abbot (sé que no ho sabieu), crec que aquest terme no és apropriat.
