What are the statistics for race worldwide?

I'm just curious. Can anyone tell me the percentages and numbers of all the major racial groups in the world? (Such as whites, Asians, blacks, and Hispanics). If you can think of any other races include them too. Also, can anybody tell me what percent of people worldwide are of Irish ethnicity? I'd really appreciate it! Thank you!

    It totally depends on who you consider Asian, white, black, etc.

    Caucasian is the most broad term of all, it includes a lot more than just the traditional Nordic (light hair, light eyes) North Europeans, a lot more who can't be considered white, like Ethiopians and Middle Easterners and Indians and even a lot of South Europeans.

    I wouldn't even use the word Caucasian if it were me... not a good way to define people... waaaaayyyy too simple.
