It means European, but you knew that. Everyone knows who's White when it comes time to hand out diversity bonus points.

What is your distinct ethnicity and culture?

To be honest, as an American, I'm about as White as it gets, i.e. a true Euro-Mutt. I'm not English or German or French or Swedish, but a blur of all of them. I'm White. Deal with it.

Europe is a landmass

Yes, that's how evolution works. Organisms that occupy areas of land evolve into different subspecies and then different species. Europeans are literally evolved for Europe. Africans for Africa. Fish for water. The selective pressures of living in Africa and Europe are vastly different. Europeans must think ahead or will die next winter. Africans can just wing it every day. Africans and Europeans evolved completely separately for over 100,000 years. Same with Native Americans who were isolated after coming from China 20,000 years ago.

I'm White.

You might even have some North African, Arab and black too for all we know. With any luck, your grandchildren may have some benefits of heterosis due to mixed ancestry as well.

Brazil would be a much better country if it was organized according to the societal hierarchy with modern psychometrics as I've discussed already. Besides that, Brazil isn't a good example because one, the world would still have unique or semi-unique races (up to the people and their freedom to choose who to marry). Two, the world would have a different genetic mix than what is limited to Brazil.
