I think it's over-PC speak for "white."
Please, Euro-American or Caucasian, many find the term "w****" to be offensive. I know I do.
Seems I am often forced to select "other" when asked about my race as these are never listed.
When it is fill in the blank, I will write "C" for Caucasian. Not sure why, but I will get funny looks, when I turn my form in, when I fill it out this way. I think all Euro-Americans should follow my example.
If you are Caucasian and have ever compared your skin color to a sheet of white paper you will find that your skin color is not white. As an artist in life painting, you mix three colors to approximate the skin color of a Caucasian, white, yellow and red.
Another way is to purchase a tube of paint that is premixed, the color is called "flesh".
Maybe if you want to refer to a Euro-American's race by their skin color you should then just say "flesh". Such as, he is flesh.
I prefer the term Euro-American, as once I had this revelation, it became clear to me why I preferred guns and cars from these two locations in the world. It was no longer that I was being snobby, it was because I was instinctively selecting my "roots".
