The question asked for a personal definition of ethnicity/cultural identity, not the colour of one's skin. "European" covers those whose ethnic and cultural origins are from Europe, which is true of all who would say "I'm white". It is also the standard demographic label used for that group of people by the market/social research companies I worked for over more than 30 years.
Also, because it is a matter of personal identity, there was an "other" answer option, with the possibility of entering whichever descriptor the respondent preferred. So far, it does not appear that anyone availed themselves of that opportunity.
