As you cannot define "white" in humans, you cannot define "non white" either so your question makes no sense. People from all over the world speak English or a dialect of it because it has become the international language.

colonization. The British empire used to be (relatively) "great" before it fell, like all empires eventually will. wherever colonizers went, they left their language, and their religion...
it therefore became an international language and a main language in many countries.
Unfortunately, nowadays people tend to think you're stupid if you can't/don't speak English. It's not true, of course.
English is the language of assimilation for most non-whites (forced or otherwise). It's evidence of the infamous legacy of greed that drove colonization; an effect that people of color everywhere must react to. Also globalization.

Or speak Spanish, or speak French, or speak Portuguese, and probably one or two other European languages in various dialects. The answer is "European colonisation" in the last 500 years or so.

Business, trade, employment opportunities. Satisfactory communication is a necessary component for successful business dealings. English just happens to be the most commonly used language for business so one would not be doing oneself a favour by not learning it. Bi or multi-lingual people usually have greater employment opportunities; well known that these skills are looked upon favourably.

Most English speakers are not white skinned,blueeyed and have blond hair.
Basic English is much easier to learn than the basics of some other languages.
