Euro-Americans
Continental heritage descendants
Euro-Americans are Americans of European descent—the demographic category that includes those whose ancestry traces to any European country.
The term appears primarily in academic, demographic, and policy contexts as a parallel to African-Americans, Asian-Americans, and other hyphenated identities: Euro-Americans constitute the majority of the U.S. population.
In everyday speech, white Americans is more common.
