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)
Be sure and tell Wikipedia that they are racist bone heads as well!!
You're beginning to get it. They, like you, are identitarian idiots.
Maybe you should explore why you resent Europeans so much.
Because I disagree with you doesn't mean I fot within your black-or-white view of the world.
Race is a reductive and stupid way to see the world. Saying that ANY race is like X or like Y is xtra-strength retarded. Most of us haven't been chugging from the barrel like you have.
Race politics is for leftist losers. Get the fuck outta here you low iq cuck.
You are not very intelligent. Race is a real thing. Hate to tell you. Humans are nothing if not tribal. We also really like to categorize things. It's just in our nature. I'm sorry you are in such denial about this basic fact of human existence. Sounds like a personal problem. I wish you the best. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization)
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.

Who's denying race is a thing. I'll say it slowly because you have the IQ of a toaster:
Race. Is. A. Fucking. Stupid. Way. To. View. The. World.
Don't come back here, you're not welcome.
