"White" to "European-American"

Target: CA Department of Education
Region: United States of America
Background (Preamble):
In the state of California and other places in the United States, the term "white" is almost entirely used on every standardized and state-issued test. This wouldn't be a problem if all ethnicities were refered to by color (examples: black instead of African-American, yellow instead of Asian-American, brown instead of Hispanic/Latino) however, every ethnicity is given the proper title except for European-Americans. This is a common occourance, especially on the Stanford 9 and other such tests.
Please, people of every ethnicity and State in the United States, sign this in the name of human rights, equality, and freedom.
