I just paid for a month's access so that I could see the "other" responses, and I see one respondent used "Caucasian", which has the same basic connotation as European, since the term was created using the Caucasus as the border between Europe and Asia.
The majority of "other" responses conflate nationality with ethnicity, an understandable and widespread practice but one that can be problematic in health surveys especially, given that some conditions have a strong genetic link and disregard the socio-political concept of "nationality"
