That didn't seem terribly large, I looked for UK and found c. 80% white-British. What's the median of these across countries?

The median across countries is probably quite high. E.g. Japan is 98.5% ethnically Japanese. The US is an extreme outlier. No single ethnic group makes up more than about 20% of the population.

I don't know about extreme outliers. Many countries are more diverse.
