in Europe white is sort of like a term to define one's skin colour.... I mean no one see it as an ethnicity like americans would see it.

basically europeans dont really see themselves as white people.... people here go by nationality, meaning you're austrian, or german, or hungarian or polish or danish etc. etc.

I have a ukrainian friend who went to the USA and told me she felt weird at first when she first arrived and had to assume a so called white girl ethnicity because to her white girls were always sort of the typical american girls.... she saw herself more as a ukrainian with east european culture.

in my case I think I dont really fit the white woman stereotype, I am austrian I think I fit that stereotype well, in America I'd be a european expat I think.... like white to me sounds like a soccer mom from american suburbia!! (i dont know, it's hard to explain)
