white ethnicity

White ethnicity generally refers to people of European descent, characterized by shared historical, cultural, and sometimes physical traits such as lighter skin tones. It's a broad classification that includes diverse nations and cultures across Europe, North America, and other regions. Ethnicity encompasses more than just appearance; it involves shared language, traditions, and cultural practices. While "white" is commonly used in racial and ethnic categorization, it doesn't define individual identity entirely, which is shaped by personal, cultural, and social factors.
