Because I'm American, through and through. It doesn't matter where my ancestors immigrated from. Im simply American. The only colors I see are red white and blue
I do not claim Europe as my ancestry. My ancestors participated in a diaspora from that hell-hole to create a new life for themselves and their progeny. I know not the history, culture, or people of those nations. I am American, and my skin color is White, and I'll die before someone tells me to believe otherwise. Fuck Off Shill.
Or we could just call ourselves Americans and not break ourselves up into racial or ethnic groups...
Plus some people like myself Abanaki and Cherokee ancestors and European ancestors so saying European American wouldn't exactly be an accurate description...
Call yourself whatever you want. "Ourselves" is a little broad, considering not everyone here has European ancestry. But, yeah, just American will do for me.
My bad for not being clear. We are all Americans! 100%! But lately it's ok to hate 'white' people. I think because of the use of the term 'White Supremacist'. Which the vast majority of 'white' people aren't. We are all familiar with the sub categories of Americans: African-American, Asian-American.... Along those categories 'white' people are European-Americans mainly. That's who everyone hates. People of European Ancestry. So when I say 'ourselves' I mean white people/European Americans. We are all 100% Americans my fellow Patriot. Sorry if I was unclear.
It's a legit term. Do you feel the same way about the terms Asian-American and African-American? My ancestors are from Ireland and Italy. My Italian dad came in 1960 and my Irish great grandparents came in the late 1800's. I am European American. It's way more accurate then 'white'. When I spit in the Ancestry tube my DNA came back 95% European. Why does the term offend you? I don't quite understand?
"Legit" as in exists, yes. "Legit" as in not retarded, no.
Plenty of pedes have pointed out to you that this is just buying in to the leftist politics of division. Is a legit pede like Candice, Barricade or Kim Included? No. Are they included in the group "American" yes. It's just that simple. Make the circle bigger, not smaller.
Why the fuck you would want to let the left take the word "American" from you, I can't begin to comprehend.
Are African-American and Asian-American retarded terms also? If not please explain the difference. I'm just getting away from this overused term 'whiteness'. I'm an American whose heritage is European. Why is stating that offensive? it's my DNA.
When the left stops doing that so will I. I promise. Right now they are calling me and my ancestors evil white men. And brown and black men are our victims. Always! Everywhere. Humans are tribal. Look at sports. Not sure why it offends you so much to clarify that white people are European? Have you ever been to Europe? It's pretty cool. My dad came from Palermo, Italy. My mom's family from Cork, Ireland. I am an American. My ancestry is European. Are you saying I don't have the right to feel that the term 'European American' is less offensive that 'white' right now in this political climate? I think I have a right to feel that way. I honestly don't understand what you have a problem with. Simple question, do you find the term African-American retarded? Yes or no?
Western Europe for sure. 100% agree, That doesn't mean I can't be proud of my DNA. And Ancestry says my DNA is like 95% European. And I like my DNA. Quite proud of it in fact!
Honestly bro, that sound like a loser thing to say. DNA doesn't have much to do with it. All those Portland losers share the same DNA as you, so please give me a full accounting and apology for all thier fuckery, given you know DNA is the Big Deal.
But, honestly, I think you are in the wrong place. You sound more like antifa than you do like a pede. Maybe but yourself a bus ticket to Portland and deport yourself from .win
Is the term African-American retarded? Africa and Europe are both continents and people came from both places. If the term European-American is retarded than the term African-American is just as retarded or it is YOU who are the hypocrite. So again. Stop deflecting. I'm starting to think you have some weird issue with Europe.
European Americans (also referred to as Euro-Americans) are Americans of European ancestry. This term includes people who are descended from the first European settlers in America as well as people who are descended from more recent European arrivals. European Americans are the largest panethnic group (or it may be considered an ethnic group in its own right) in the United States, both historically and at present.
The Spaniards are thought to be the first Europeans to establish a continuous presence in what is now the contiguous United States, with Martín de Argüelles (b. 1566) in St. Augustine, then a part of Spanish Florida. Virginia Dare, born August 18, 1587, was the first English child to be born in the Americas (see First white child). She was born in Roanoke Colony, located in present-day North Carolina, which was the first attempt, made by Queen Elizabeth I, to establish a permanent English settlement in North America.
In the 2016 American Community Survey, German Americans (13.9%), Irish Americans (10.0%), English Americans (7.4%), Italian Americans (5.2%), and Polish Americans (3%) were the five largest self-reported European ancestry groups in the United States, forming over a third of the total population. However, the English Americans and other British Americans demography is considered to be significantly under-counted, as the people in that demographic tend to identify themselves simply as Americans (20,151,829 or 7.2%) In the 2000 census over 56 million or 19.9% of the United States population ignored the ancestry question completely and are classified as "unspecified" and "not reported".Use In 1995, as part of a review of the Office of Management and Budget's Statistical Policy Directive No. 15 (Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics and Administrative Reporting), a survey was conducted of census recipients to determine their preferred terminology for the racial/ethnic groups defined in the Directive. For the White group, European American came third, preferred by 2.35% of panel interviewees.
The term is sometimes used interchangeably with Caucasian American, White American, and Anglo American in many places around the United States. However, the terms Caucasian and White are purely racial terms, not geographic, and include some populations whose origin is outside of Europe; and Anglo-American also has another definition, meaning, European Americans with English ancestry.
Origin
The term is used by some to emphasize the European cultural and geographical ancestral origins of Americans, in the same way as is done for African Americans and Asian Americans. A European American awareness is still notable because 90% of the respondents classified as white in the U.S. Census knew[clarification needed] their European ancestry. Historically, the concept of an American originated in the United States as a person of European ancestry, thus excluding non-European groups.
As a linguistic concern, the term is sometimes meant to discourage a dichotomous view of the racial landscape between the white category and everyone else. Margo Adair suggests that the recognition of specific European American ancestries allows certain Americans to become aware that they come from a variety of different cultures.
Subgroups
There are a number of subgroupings of European Americans. While these categories may be approximately defined, often due to the imprecise or cultural regionalization of Europe, the subgroups are nevertheless used widely in cultural or ethnic identification.[22] This is particularly the case in diasporic populations, as with European people in the United States generally.[23] In alphabetical order, some of the subgroups are:
Eastern European Americans, including Belarusian Americans, Czech Americans, Estonian Americans, Hungarian Americans, Latvian Americans, Lithuanian Americans, Moldovan Americans, Polish Americans, Romanian Americans, Russian Americans, Slovak Americans and Ukrainian Americans
Northwestern European Americans, including Austrian Americans, Belgian Americans, British Americans (English Americans, Scottish Americans, Welsh Americans), Dutch Americans, French Americans, German Americans, Irish Americans, Luxembourgian Americans, Scandinavian Americans (Danish Americans, Finnish Americans, Icelandic Americans, Norwegian Americans, Swedish Americans) and Swiss Americans
Southern European Americans, including Albanian Americans, Cypriot Americans, Greek Americans, Italian Americans, Maltese Americans, Portuguese Americans, Spanish Americans and Yugoslav Americans (Bosnian Americans, Croatian Americans, Macedonian Americans, Montenegrin Americans, Serbian Americans, Slovenian Americans)
Because I'm American, through and through. It doesn't matter where my ancestors immigrated from. Im simply American. The only colors I see are red white and blue
Hyphenated Americans suffer from schizophrenia
Sorry mate. I can't get on board with that. To me Europe represents Socialism and weakness. I'll stick to being a proud American.
Nah. I’m an American pede. I come from America. My ancestors where European. But I as well as anyone else born here, am an American.
Deport this shit
I do not claim Europe as my ancestry. My ancestors participated in a diaspora from that hell-hole to create a new life for themselves and their progeny. I know not the history, culture, or people of those nations. I am American, and my skin color is White, and I'll die before someone tells me to believe otherwise. Fuck Off Shill.
I'm an American American.
I identify as a Chad-American
Or we could just call ourselves Americans and not break ourselves up into racial or ethnic groups...
Plus some people like myself Abanaki and Cherokee ancestors and European ancestors so saying European American wouldn't exactly be an accurate description...

No worries, pede!
That's retarded. Your culture isnt the color of your skin. Your culture isn't the lineage of your X chromosome, or where your grandparents were born.
Culture is what you value. Culture isthe traditions you believe in.
"European American" is just some divisive, racist, leftist bullshit. No fucking sale freind. No sale.
It's a legit term. Do you feel the same way about the terms Asian-American and African-American? My ancestors are from Ireland and Italy. My Italian dad came in 1960 and my Irish great grandparents came in the late 1800's. I am European American. It's way more accurate then 'white'.

Yes. They are Americans. Stop segregating by race. I have more in common with a Chinese pede than a Portland leftist.
Only person here buying into that shit is you.
I'll say it again: looking at politics through the lens of race is for racist leftist losers. Please cut it out.
When the left stops doing that so will I. I promise. Right now they are calling me and my ancestors evil white men. And brown and black men are our victims. Always! Everywhere. Humans are tribal. Look at sports. Not sure why it offends you so much to clarify that white people are European? Have you ever been to Europe? It's pretty cool. My dad came from Palermo, Italy.

You've already lost, whether you know it or not.
Go join antifa they "think" just like you.
It's okay to be white
Yes. And it's ok to be European.
Is it? Most European countries look a bit like leftist shitholes, with a couple of exceptions like Poland and Hungary.
Western Europe for sure. 100% agree, That doesn't mean I can't be proud of my DNA. And Ancestry says my DNA is like 95% European. And I like my DNA. Quite proud of it in fact!

I already said yes, you racist bone head.
In theory this is a great idea! it's just going to take a long time and we have to work it out until then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfxL_wuYtSg
Gotcha! Bro! Be sure and tell Wikipedia that they are racist bone heads as well!! Maybe you should explore why you resent Europeans so much.
