Abstract
The American Psychological Association released its second edition of the Inclusive Language Guide in late 2023. The guidance on the use of the terms "White" or "European American" did not change from the first edition. In this reply, we provide the rationale for using the terms "White" and "European" interchangeably for brevity in academic and policy discussions. Nonetheless, brevity should not be prioritized over accuracy or specificity. This recommendation also aims to explain how the use of "European American" labels instead of "White" can contribute to the adoption of multiculturalist views, ultimately reducing racial and ethnic prejudice. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
