Most white people have no clue what the term germanic means or who is included in it.
All that counts is that they are european.
elone. Those two sentance pretty much capture what it's about. You have a US-definition of white. Your US-definition of white was created in contrast to black. In Europe, with no black slavery, that was never the case. Stormfront is, I'm guessing, a US-driven site due to their definition, because they seem to be living in a utopia that doesn't quite match the racial reality of Europe.

I have -never- heard anyone from Scandinavia speak about people from Greece, Bulgaria, or some other distant country, as their 'brethren'. That feeling of a shared 'whiteness' doesn't really exist. And the further away from the current phenotype the weaker that bond becomes. If I ask scandinavians if they consider south-europeans to be white the answer is just as often "no" as it is a drawn-out and hesitant "yes...".

The _actual_ divide in Europe has been between East and West for economical & political reasons (communist block vs the capitalistic western europe) - and between North and South for racial, cultural and historical reasons. North and South Europeans are distinct culturally, linguistically and racially, just like East and West are.

If a meta-ethnicity does exists in Europe (and I would argue that it does) then North-europeans; the Germanic countries (Scandinavia, England, Germany, Holland etc) would be one of them. They really do feel some abstract bond with each other. Another such meta-ethnicity exists between South-europeans, where Italians, Spaniards etc. They often consider each other to be a 'brother'-people, linguistically, racially, culturally, historically. A third Meta-Ethnicity would be the Slavic Eastern Europe. They seem to share a bond of language, culture, historic past as communist countries and so on.

But overall - I have never heard a single person reason in terms of "EU-nationalism". And the European Union is a standing proof of the failure to create any actual sense of 'togetherness'. Quite frankly; Nobody gives a flying fuck about it. At best, it is by its people seen as a beaurucratic, administrative unit in place to do.. something.
