Chagossians
The Chagossians, also known as Chagos Islanders and '''''' (), are an Afro-Asian ethnic group originating from freed African slaves as well as people of Asian (South Asian and Malay) descent brought to the Chagos Islands, specifically Diego Garcia, Peros Banhos, and the Salomon island chain, in the late 18th century. Under international law, they are the indigenous peoples of the Chagos archipelago, as they are descended from the earliest human settlers of the islands. Most Chagossians now live in Mauritius, Seychelles, and the United Kingdom after the forced removal by the British government

Franco-Mauritian
Franco-Mauritians () form an ethnic group of White Africans of European ancestry in Mauritius who trace their ethnic ancestry to France and ethnic French people. Franco-Mauritians make up approximately 2% of the country's population. Other than documented European ancestry, it is their skin colour which distinguishes Franco-Mauritians from the rest of ethnic groups in Mauritius, where they are also known as blancs or blanches literally meaning whites.
