Now, if white people were segregated from non-white, and reprocreation was restricted until it finally ceased, then we could talk about extinction.
So even if something doesnt exist it is still not extinct?

And in your scenario everything else would be gone also, culture and language.

But hey, we could read about it in history books so it wouldnt be really gone, right?
