White American Erotic

White (non-Hispanic) Americans comprise approximately 58.1% of the United States population — the largest single category in the OMB-defined race framework. Predominantly European-descended source ancestry with substantial inter-individual variation. Largest single-ancestry self-identifications: German-American (~17%), Irish-American (~10%), English-American (~8%), Italian-American (~5%), Polish-American (~3%), French-American (~2.5%), Scottish-American (~2%), Norwegian-American (~1.5%), Swedish-American (~1.4%), Russian-American (~1%), plus broader European-American sub-populations. The category historically excludes Hispanic / Latino self-identification (per OMB guidance Hispanic / Latino is a distinct ethnic category) and excludes MENA self-identification (which the 2020 Census categorized under White but which scholars typically treat separately).
