White Americans are Americans who are considered or reported as White.

The United States Census

Bureau defines White people as those "having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the
Middle East-North Africa."[2] Like all official U.S. racial categories, "White" has a "not Hispanic or
Latino" and a "Hispanic or Latino" component,[3] the latter consisting mostly of White Mexican
Americans and White Cuban Americans. The term "Caucasian" is often used interchangeably with
"White", although the terms are not synonymous.[4][5][6][7][8][9]

The largest ancestries of American Whites are: German Americans (16.5%), Irish Americans (11.9%),
English Americans (9.2%), Welsh Americans (6%), Scots-Irish Americans (12%), Italian Americans
(5.5%), Mexican Americans (5.4%), French Americans (4%), Polish Americans (3%), Scottish
Americans (1.9%), Dutch Americans (1.6%), Finnish Americans (2%), Danish Americans (5%),
Norwegian Americans (1.5%), and Swedish Americans (1.4%).[10][not specific enough to verify][11]
However, the English-Americans and British-Americans demography is considered a serious under-
count as the stock tend to self-report and identify as simply 'Americans' (6.9%), due to the length of
time they have inhabited America.[6][7][8][9]

Whites (including Hispanics who identify as White) constitute the majority, with a total of about
246,660,710, or 77.35% of the population as of 2014. Non-Hispanic Whites totaled about
197,870,516, or 62.06% of the U.S. population.
