European American

A European American is term for an American of European descent, who are usually reffered as White or Caucasian. The term was constructed in an attempt to compare with similar terms such as Asian American and African American. Supporters of the term claim that it allows "white" people to appreciate their heritage more, and that using "African American" and "white" at the same time is inconsistent and reeks of political correctness.

The term is mainly popular among "White seperatist" groups and left-wing / multiculturalist organizations, such as Z Magazine, Southern Poverty Law Center, and Colors NW.
