	European American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A European American, or a Euro-American, is an American of European descent, otherwise referred to White or Caucasian.
		Although it should be noted that one can be a European American and still belong to a specific ethnic group.
		European Americans as percent of population (reported as "White"), 2000

	African American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, when Reconstruction ended in 1877, southern, European American landowners reinstituted a regime of disenfranchisement and racial segregation, and with it a wave of terror and repression, including lynchings and other vigilante violence.
		Although in the same year African Americans were over-represented among the nation's poor, this was directly related to the disproportionate percentage of African American families headed by single women; such families are collectively poorer, regardless of ethnicity [9].
		The desperate conditions of African Americans in the South that sparked the Great Migration of the early 20th century, combined with a growing African American intellectual and cultural elite in the Northern United States, led to a movement to fight violence and discrimination against African Americans that, like abolitionism before it, crossed racial lines.

	The Globalist Global Politics -- The American Dream Vs. the European Dream
		As Jeremy Rifkin sees it, the American and European dreams are — at their core — about two diametrically opposed ideas of freedom and security.
		Europeans are more reluctant to use military force and instead favor diplomacy, economic assistance and aid to avert conflict and prefer peacekeeping operations to maintain order.
		Americans are more willing to employ military force in the world, if necessary, to protect what we perceive to be our vital self-interests.

	USS Clueless - European disunity
		Many questions which the Americans assumed would be dealt with by the Legislative and Executive branches of the United States are hard-wired in the now-failed EU constitution, and thus placed beyond the reach of Europe's citizens or their elected representatives.
		The combined European Union will have a larger population and a GDP approaching that of the US, and it is hoped that this will give it the weight to be able to dictate to Washington the way Washington is viewed as having dictated to the divided and quarreling nations of Europe.
		They resent American protection and generosity, and are chagrined at our blasphemous capitalist success and the way we've forced Europe to also be capitalist while resisting their attempts to force us to implement socialist and leftist and internationalist reforms.

	The New Yorker: Fact
		The European commentators’ dismay at the tyranny of American materialism was disingenuous, since many of them had come to the United States to repair their tattered fortunes or make new ones.
		Americans thought of the Marshall Plan (together with the forgiveness of French debts) as an exercise in wise altruism; European leaders like de Gaulle bristled with suspicion at the patronizing weight of the program.
		American generosity (in the French view) toward German reparation schedules fed into the conspiracy theories that seethed and bubbled in the anti-American press in the nineteen-twenties and early thirties.

	Altermedia news U.S.A. » European American News
		American soldiers may be short of body armor and ammunition, but the future Palace of the occupation authority has gold filigree on the ceilings and fresh, inviting swimming pools where tired bureaucrats and multi-national corporate executives can take a refreshing dip at the end of a hard day of looting the prostrate Muslim nation.
		The Americans are running so short of ammunition that they must buy back the ammo they gave to Israel in their yearly cornucopia of “foreign aid.” And yet the gargantuan embassy is the ONLY American project which is completely on schedule and on budget.
		The Americans cannot keep the electricity running in Baghdad for more than a couple of hours a day, unemployment is around 80%, bombs shatter the peace daily and the streets run red with blood.

	The American Enterprise: Old and In the Way
		American taxpayers are paying to build a missile defense system, an unchallengeable air force, and a fleet of 13 separate supercarriers with attendant air wings and naval battle groups.
		European elites, already worried they won't be able to keep up with America over the next generation, are now approaching panic as the U.S. coalesces, during its September 11 recovery, into an even steelier and more determined colossus.
		European politicians have recently attacked and undercut the U.S. on North Korea, on the Middle East, over the Afghan war, about prisoners at Guantanamo, at multiple environmental conclaves, regarding the International Criminal Court, in scores of trade battles, on missile defense, and at other occasions too numerous to count.

	Michael Novak on Europe on National Review Online
		Again, Europeans really do have a passion for equality that seems odd and unnatural to Americans.
		Although Americans have much more in common with the ordinary people of Italy, France, Germany, and so on, than with the elites of those countries, our ordinary people tend to think rather differently even from ordinary Europeans.
		Americans are not by temperament or by national destiny empire-builders, as once the Romans were, and the British, and the French and Germans and (latterly) the Italians.

	GotFrag eSports - All Games News Story - European, American CS
		Ever since the introduction of version 1.5, when coordinated teamplay became a true key to success, Europeans have had the upper hand in every LAN competition they've been at together with North Americans.
		Europeans, by contrast, almost universally agreed that CS provides them with a large number of their best friends, many of whom they regularly hang out with in real life.
		Approximately half of the North Americans I interviewed said that, although they consider their teammates to be friends, they have few online friends outside of their clan, and they spend just about all of their spare time hanging out with non CS-related friends.

	ISAR - Brief History of European and American Eugenics Movements
		While some historians have claimed that the American and English eugenics movements imported "surprisingly little" from the European eugenics movement, the importance and influence of eugenics leaders in Europe is clear from an examination of the Eugenical News and the Minutes of the Eugenics Committee.
		A brief history of the European and American eugenics movements of the 1930s: Excerpts from "A History of the American Eugenics Movement," University of Illinois, Ph.D. Thesis, 1988 by Barry Mehler.

	AsianWeek: Bay Area: Stockton Celebrates Euro-American Heritage
		Whittock chose April to designate as European American Heritage Month instead of October because it was a month in the school calendar not declared by any group.
		Supporters of the decision contend that the idea that European Americans are a distinct and legitimate ethnic group is catching on.

	European Versus American Art

		In a recent conversation, the topic of European versus American art came up--not which one was better--but on how to tell a them apart.
		A look at an American portrait by JS Copley(1737-1815) and a British portrait of the same period by Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792) explains volumes about the fundamental difference in the paintings of the Continent versus the US.
