From the official Democratic Convention website, here is the "Communities" page for "European and Mediterranean Americans:"
The culture and history of European and Mediterranean Americans contribute to America’s unique fabric.
Indeed.
European and Mediterranean Americans will share their voices at the 2012 Democratic National Convention to keep the country moving forward.
This would seem curious, until I read another official Democratic Convention page:

European and Mediterranean Americans Come Together
Posted by Amaia Kirtland on Sep. 3, 2012
European and Mediterranean Americans met in the Ethnic Council meeting at Charlotte Convention Center on Monday, September 3 to discuss the engagement and empowerment of grassroots communities in the political process.
The Ethnic Council is a coalition of leaders representing Democrats who have organized among diverse backgrounds, faiths, ethnicities and demographic or geographic origins. At the convention, they are coming together to support President Barack Obama’s re-nomination and discuss strategies for increasing grassroots participation.
The personal stories of the delegates reflected American diversity and shared heritage. Members offered ideas about connecting with specific communities as they work to keep our country moving in the right direction.
Maryland State Senator Jim Rosapepe, an Italian-American, is excited to re-nominate President Obama. Senator Rosapepe said, “I think he stands for the values we grew up with: family, education, and community. When Italian-Americans came, we had to stand together. Italian-Americans got ahead by the way others got ahead, by standing together.”
Okay, so the point is not for, God forbid, "European and Mediterranean Americans" to "stand together," but for, say, Italian-Americans to stand together with other Italian-American, for Irish-Americans to stand together with other Irish-American Democrats, all for the greater glory of Barack Obama.
I had never, ever heard the term "European and Mediterranean Americans" before. A look at Google suggests that it's a novel coinage of Obama Campaign, perhaps in the last few days, perhaps much earlier. The earliest usage I can find is from an Obama 2012 page dated November 28, 2008 (that date strikes me as implausible, but possible -- they were setting up Obama 2012 webpages months in 2008?):
European and Mediterranean Americans (sometimes known as Ethnic Americans) for Obama are Americans of varied backgrounds – from the newly naturalized citizen building a family and laying down roots to the fourth-generation family in the US with ties and heritage connected to the land of our ancestors. New Polish-American citizens in Toledo, Irish-Americans in Scranton, Italian-Americans in greater Detroit – these are just some of the stories of American families, stories of resounding hope and affirmation in the American dream – and it is Barack Obama’s story as well.
When viewed properly, all stories are Barack Obama's story.
And here are all 14 official Democratic Convention "Communities:" (Interestingly, the descriptions for 11 of the groups emphasize how their respective caucuses listed will meet during the Convention. The only three groups without their own caucuses are "Americans with Disabilities," "Labor," and "European and Mediterranean Americans.")
OVERVIEW
The Democratic National Convention provides a platform for representation by people of many different origins, orientations and backgrounds. To get involved with a group, find the community that best fits you and see how you can connect with others.

This is exciting. The existence of Europeans is being acknowledged by the Democrats (and not in a scolding or hateful way). Progress.
In an age where young women in cities are making substantially more than young men; and men, as far as I know, are still transfering vast sums of money to women for no reason... Women have a community but not men. Why do the democrats hate men?
The "European and Mediterranean Americans" caucus was added in the last couple days. I checked a couple days ago and it wasn't there. I think it's a direct response to Klein's editorial.
More potential students for 'Sailer's School of Citizenism'. No idea what you're waiting for there; get it going now before the student loan bubble hits the fan.

Pentagon recently announced five more deaths in Afghanistan
...the Pentagon posts another formulaic death notice...So far this year, it's 31 a month on average, or one per day...the war...was not even mentioned by Mitt Romney in his speech...
No doubt Obama will again be too busy to personally sign a condolence letter to the families. In fact, he's probably got a meeting with Valerie Jarrett -- a woman -- to find out what he should say and do next.

Amusing, but true. And therefore I guess less funny.
By my count I'm a member of at least seven of these groups.
All Americans are of course African Americans. My distant ancestor was at Jamestown so I'm a First American. I'm a veteran. I'm not an LGBT person but as a BDSMer - a far more persecuted population segment. And I'm wring a book on curing homosexuality. That should count for something.
I don't know about the Faith Caucus. I'm an atheist of course, but I am creating a political movement called "Atheists for Christ". That should qaulify. Shouldn't it?

RE: European and Mediterranean Americans,
How exactly does this work?Is an Italian a European or Mediterranean American? Maybe Both? What about a Frenchman, is he a European or Mediterranean American? What about a Turk from the European sliver of Turkey?
I guess that no one in the Democratic Party wants to be called White. That would be uncool.

So, according to the Democratic Party, "Native American" is passe; we're supposed to use "First Americans" now.

When even really bad, disabled athletes are doping, makes you wonder about the successful, good regular athletes.
I guess this represents an attempt to appeal to white voters.
Somewhere out there is someone who belongs to 13 of the 14 groups. (Only youth and seniors are mutually exclusive.)
Did you know that Benjamin Franklin was a white man? It's true!
I guess that when blacks and all the other designated minority groups are meeting in separate rooms, they have to give the whites something to do other than mill around in the lobby feeling left out.
It's Bolshevism. Atomize the nation (the national blood = the enemy) and if possible turn everyone against one another including spouses and parent /child.
This is how the Inner Party rules.
It sounds like a way to start breaking up the white vote before it ever has a chance to coalesce into the White Vote. First step, split whites into European Americans and Mediterranean Americans. Then split European Americans into Anglos, Germans, and Slavs etc. (Franco-American vs. Chef Boyardee?).
They are relentless, these Gramscians, you have to give them that.
Romney/Ryan should use this in an ad.
This is what goes on in the California Teachers' Association meetings. They break themselves up by gender, race, sexual orientation, subject matter taught, etc. They've been doing it for over 15 years.
No wonder the damn country doesn't feel unified on anything.
Hey, Pat ("And I'm wring a book on curing homosexuality. That should count for something.")
You've proceeded with that, huh?
Good for you. Maybe you'll give us a preview of a chapter, or at least the intro?
Diversity = the practice of dividing up groups into subgroups with grievances or into subgroups with perceived grievances or into subgroups which seek to find grievances even when none are perceived; and ultimately the achievement of division of the larger group into subgroups which no longer recognized themselves as belonging to a larger group that shares a common bond or interest.
As a student of history, I have to agree with the Democrats on this one. People of European descent do seem to have helped contribute to this country.
A nation and ethnic group has been wiped of the map of the DNC: white Northern europeans ARE the builders and creators of AMErica.
They are NOT a 'ethnic group' they are the nation and to deny that reality is to destroy the nation for another.
Now you get to be a slogan.
They sure don't miss a trick, do they? I wonder how many people will be bamboozled by this pitch. I can see it all play out now: 'Hey Tony, us Meds better stick together and all come out for the big O or else we're doomed man, doomed' (panic in voice rising).
So what is this, an updated version of Georgi Dimitov's United Front ?
Are Muslims from the mediterranean rim nations of Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Libya also included in the European and Mediterranean classification?
By the way all these countries were once part of the Roman Empire, which essentially was a mediterranean empire.
Where is the category of Aryan Americans or Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-Celtic or North Western European Americans ? ( I think you get the idea )
Where is the inclusiveness here ? One rule for all
Divide and rule. Rinse and repeat until dissolved.
I'm going to hazard a guess that the spot for "Anglo-Saxon American", or "German American", or any law-abiding high-achieving Nord races are going to remain forever conspicuously absent.
This is going to work for the Democrats about as well as getting some token black politicians works for the Republicans. As long as the Democrats are the party of AA, they'll never appeal to the average European American, no matter how many caucuses they provide.
"Mediterranean Americans".
I must admit, that's a new one on me, never, ever heard it before.
I suppose the idea is inclusivity of all the nations of the Mediterranean littoral - even though this 'unit' has nver really been used by geographers, encompassing as it does the continents of Europe, Africa and Asia.
Ethnologists do speak of a generalized 'mediterranean race', but surely for the Dems to resort to racial terms like this is rather declasse', one wouldn't have a caucus of 'nordic Americans', would we?
I have a sneaking suspicion it's something to do with Jewishness, Jews rejecting the 'European' label and seeking the creation of a rival (but known only to the Democrat Party), grouping.
The list of 'communities' bears a strong resemblance to a Social Security preliminary box-ticking exercise - or dare I say it, a government job 'diversity ticksheet' (ie a quota allocation form).
Its a move to try to split up whites even more. Rome and Greece have long been pillars of Europe.
"I'm not an LGBT person but as a BDSMer - a far more persecuted population segment. And I'm wring a book on curing homosexuality."
Sounds campy.

PS: Is Albertosaurus hinting that there was once a time in his distant past when he was a little light in the loafers?
The Putin vs. Obama thing was hilarious, made my day :)
This is pretty strange. It seems like they wanted to divide the entire population up so that everyone fits in at least one category, and they had to put People Not of Color somewhere. "European and Mediterranean Americans" was probably the most awkward way they could think of, so they went with that.
European-Americans stand obediently at the curb, waiting for the light to turn green, even if there is no car coming and no car has come along in half an hour on this street, just like their co-ethnics do in Frankfurt and Munich.
Mediterranean-Americans crouch on curbs where there are no traffic lights because no one would obey them anyway, waiting only for a gap in the streaming traffic to dash across, just like their ethnic peers do in Rome and Naples.
You must learn to be more observant, Steve.
This is exciting. The existence of Europeans is being acknowledged by the Democrats (and not in a scolding or hateful way). Progress.
I wouldn't get too excited.
"European and Mediterranean Americans" is just a new, PC term for "white ethnics."
Old-stock Americans of Northwest European descent need not apply.
"It sounds like a way to start breaking up the white vote before it ever has a chance to coalesce into the White Vote."
Aren't we always doing that around here though? Some commenters refuse the idea that the Milanese are white, and even consider the French iffy.
Obama knows he needs to win the rust belt and is in trouble there so he is trying to expand the Democrats' usual identity politics strategy. If they can split the ethnics from a Anglos, they will be unbeatable.
"This is exciting. The existence of Europeans is being acknowledged by the Democrats (and not in a scolding or hateful way). Progress."
Are you kidding no question mark. No, the Dems didn't acknowledge the existence of Europeans in a scolding or hateful way, they did so in a hasty and patronizing way. Another poster comments that this category was a late addition to the Dem website.
This is a blatant attempt to pander to those who lean toward the Dems and silence those who don't.
People like you scare me. No, seriously. They--you--do.
"Hate speech" is really speaking the truth that Jews hate us. So, Jews are free to hate us, but we cannot say they hate us. Speaking the truth about Jew is 'hate speech'.
Democrats.. party of Jews, Wall Street, and gays, with minorities and women as suckers.
Republicans... party of Jews, Wall Street, and military industrial complex, with rednecks and Christians as suckers.
"As long as the Democrats are the party of AA, they'll never appeal to the average European American, no matter how many caucuses they provide."
Vast majority of white kids in 2008 voted for an affirmative action candidate.
Obama is a AA candidate but weren't McCain and Romney, like Bush II, legacy candidates?
McCain comes from a respected military family. Romney comes from a political family.
It's either all in the affirmative or all in the family.
So the GOP isn't much about meritocracy either.

Okay, I'm gullible. Are you joking? Of course people of European descent have "contributed." Are you new to iSteve?
Someone on an HBD blog just posted about a week or two ago a pic of the earth, with dots of the cities in which scientific research takes place.
Um, the US, Canada (Toronto), Northern Europe, maybe one dot in Eastern Europe, Japan, China, and I think I might have seen one dot in all of South America. That was pretty much it.
I'd like to see that again. Anybody remember whose blog posted that?
Where's the Scots-Irish caucaus?
A piece on Latino political power and voting; notes some things iSteve does (they don't gain political power in proportion to their numbers, and that they don't need consultants + experts!)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/08/latino-voter-2012-population-power_n_1866131.html
However the 'by the numbers' photos at the end tell a different story, that 50% of Latinos voted in 2008 (what's the white rate?)
I think it is a very calculated move to splinter the the white vote. It may blow up in their faces, however, if the Italians (for example) start looking at the number of Italian academics or students at the University of Minnesota or Wisconsin, and start insisting on their rights as an underrepresented nationality. At least one federal court has recently decided that "white" is not a "nationality" that can be illegally discriminated against. There are Germans, English, Poles, Czechs, Italians, Irish and other nationalities, however, many of who can be identified by surname.
This may blow up in the Democrats' faces. Surely the "no Irish need apply" legends show historical discrimination against the Irish? Surely the ruthless suppression of the Italian and German peoples, language and culture in the US during WWI and WWII are obvious evidence of historical discrimination? Discrimination from which the "Jersey Shore" Italians still obviously suffer?
The Dems may live to regret this. Zionism says that Jews are a "nation" regardless of where they have ever lived, and that Israel is their "national homeland". Surely their huge over-representation as the cultural elite has caused a correspondingly huge under-representation of blacks, Mexicans, Irish, Italians, Poles, Czechs, Serbs, Croats, Russians, Germans and other nationals?
Now that the Democrats/Urban Elite approve of special white identities/nationalities (other than Jews alone) all hell may break loose.
The picture alone tells quite a tale of degeneracy and dissolution.
A blowzy, fat, late middle aged woman, makeup applied with a paint roller, cleavage exposed, clad in a fuchsia patent leather jacket. The ginormous red fingernails are a nice touch for that streetwalker look.
And the bags under her eyes and the weariness in her face further belie the utopia promised by the banner she waves. I see nothing but righteous selfishness in that empty visage, perhaps once fueled by youthful idealism, but now just running on auto, reflex, and brainwashing.
Is this woman the ideal to which Democrats and cultural Marxists hope their young daughters aspire? How could they put up such a picture on a website gushing about change and hope?
There is obviously a vast gulf of mutual incomprehension here. Can anyone envision "community" or even bear political union with such people?
The first thing Americans of Italian extraction did when they got here was learn to speak standard English. My grandfather, for example, forbade Italian in the home, and spoke it only when he visited his sisters. To the extent they "got ahead" (and of course they didn't compared to Germans and Scandinavians), it was that, rather than "standing together." Blacks, of course, have always been uninterested in standard English, and that's why nobody with a brain should have any sympathy for them.
Imagine...
having a country of your own.
Can you imagine what it would be like to live in a counry that valorizes your heritage and valorizes men who look like you, your father, and your son?
"Diversity = the practice of dividing up groups into subgroups with grievances or into subgroups with perceived grievances or into subgroups which seek to find grievances even when none are perceived; and ultimately the achievement of division of the larger group into subgroups which no longer recognized themselves as belonging to a larger group that shares a common bond or interest."
Not only does this rob the larger community of unity, as you point out, but this also robs people of personal opinions and individuality.
Here's an anecdote. The high school I attended was incredibly diverse- 48 first languages spoken. Every year we had a morning half day assembly that was the diversity festival. The Hispanic Club, the Chinese Club, The Russian Club, The African American Student Union and dozens of other such organizations would be announced and offer an artistic performance- singing, dancing or both. Sometimes a certain country or ethnicity would be announced even though it didn't have a club and a few people affiliated with that ethnicity would come out to perform some sort of an ethnic arts thing to honor their origin. There was only one girl representing Indonesia. She would come out in a national costume and do some kind of a bird dance to Indonesian music.
And then, during the assembly/festival of my Junior year, right after "Korea" was done performing, the teacher on microphone duty announced "Dennis". A guy named Dennis, who was in competitive dance since he was five and who was able to get enough leverage over his parents to quit ballroom and ballet lessons only by the time he reached high school, came out and performed a beautiful piece with a sword to what sounded like computer game music. It was honestly the only enjoyable show of the whole 3.5 hour event. When the votes were counted, Dennis had the second place. Granted, Dennis was a lot more talented and had a lot more background training than average, but I'm sure the other kids would have been able to present us with something a lot more captivating than they did, if they didn't feel restricted by the need to do something ethnic, and tied to their specific origin. I was actually pretty impressed with my high school for allowing Dennis to go ahead as a man without a nation.

As someone whose great -grandfather forbade also Italian in the home (are you who I suspect you are?), I can say with confidence that your last sentence makes no sense. Black English is no different than any other ethnic or regional dialect of American English. It's like saying that white Southerners have no interest in speaking "standard English."
"I was actually pretty impressed with my high school for allowing Dennis to go ahead as a man without a nation."
We can create a new category: Dennises.
Romney comes from a political family.
It's either all in the affirmative or all in the family.
So the GOP isn't much about meritocracy either.
Say what you will, but Romney really did give away his inheritance and start over, living in a tiny little basement apt. in Utah. What he had was smarts.
I wouldn't have blamed him for staying wealthy with what his parents passed down (of course, it's possible that the monetary inheritance wasn't all that much for maybe his folks left most it to the church) but it speaks to character that he gave it away, however much it was.
What about neuroatypicals?
I have to agree that defining white Americans as "European and Mediterranean" Americans is just a move to split up white people and create imaginary divisions/animus between white ethnics and WASPs. Where do French descended Americans like myself fall? Both categories? Weird.
This will also be the cue for gullible young white people with one Italian great-grandparent to now claim they are of the "Mediterranean" race ....after all, anything is better than being boring old whitey.
Where's the Scots-Irish caucaus?
The literal or the metaphorical?
"We can create a new category: Dennises."
Speaking of Denises, I miss "Mangan's" terribly. I wish there was some way he could communicate (or be convinced to communicate) why he gave up blogging -- threatened at work perhaps?
I have a sneaking suspicion it's something to do with Jewishness, Jews rejecting the 'European' label and seeking the creation of a rival (but known only to the Democrat Party), grouping.
Surely, you're ... correct. As are those who speak of an intention to divide Whites.
Big Bill:"Surely the "no Irish need apply" legends show historical discrimination against the Irish?"
The "No Irish Need Apply" legend is just that, a legend. The NINA (No Irish Need Apply) sign is a myth.
I have to agree that defining white Americans as "European and Mediterranean" Americans is just a move to split up white people and create imaginary divisions/animus between white ethnics and WASPs.
If that was the case, then they would have separated them into different categories. White ethnics such as Irish and Poles would fall into the "European" category so the two terms "European" and "Mediterranean" don't refer to WASPs and white ethnics, respectively.
It's obvious why they appended "and Mediterranean". "European" alone connotes indigenous Europeans and they want to include people like Armenians, Jews, Lebanese, etc. who might feel left out if they just used "European".
It looks like the party of unfettered immigration and transfer of ethnic spoils has finally prepared a seat for the turkey at Thanksgiving dinner. How gracious!

I think linking the mediterranean with europe makes a lot of sense. After all western civilization started in the mediterranean. Without ancient Egypt, Greece, Israel and Italy there is no Western Civilization.
The previously uncivilized white tribes from north of the Alps are latecomers to the party, the newer stock of if you will, who have been riding on the coattails of the foundation laid by the mediterraneans.
Europe is little more than the western peninsula of northern Asia. It is not much of a geographical continent, and carries too much cultural baggage from the Crusades, Age of Discovery, and the Cold War.
Europe and the Mediterranean does make more sense.
"Europe is little more than the western peninsula of northern Asia."
...so Nietzsche also called it: "the Asian peninsula".
This isn't recognizing the contribution of whites or their rights to be treated with equal consideration in a real sense. Its a recognition by the Dems that these despicable whites that they piss on, pick the pockets of, and make slave labor, are still a very large voting bloc, so they need to at least make a modest pretense so as not to scare away those white women, gays, and brainwashed straight white men who are still voting Obama.
The same reason why Obama around this time every 4 years starts putting out the 'I ate apple pie growing up, remember my mother was white' line.
I had never, ever heard the term "European and Mediterranean Americans" before.
Nor had I. 'Tis a new concoction, methinks.
The idea that individual ethnic European pride is okay isn't, though. I've heard it from a few libtards. I considered it, sent a letter to the descendants of individual enslaved tribes here in 'merica, and got "eff u, we black" in response. I consider the matter shelved.
European and Mediterranean Americans (sometimes known as Ethnic Americans) for Obama are Americans of varied backgrounds – from the newly naturalized citizen building a family and laying down roots to the fourth-generation family in the US with ties and heritage connected to the land of our ancestors.
But four generations back is as far as they can push it, I suppose. Beyond that and the vibrant bits are long dead.
Clicked on first Americans as my ancestors fought in the Revolution thus are first Americans but was taken to the Native American page. Hrmm.
Yeah. I don't know if my ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War, but they were around for a good while before it. So maybe the "In before there was a USA, bitch" Caucus is for me. I'll settle for the Caucasus though.

Wow, this group goes way back four generations, eh? Amazing.
Except I'm "European-American" and I go back 12+ generations on several lines, and 8 or more on all of them. Guess I don't count...
"Its a recognition by the Dems that these despicable whites that they piss on, pick the pockets of, and make slave labor, are still a very large voting bloc"
The speaking line-up for one night at the Democratic Convention had six white guys in a row (former CEOs of Intel and Costco, plus several politicians). I saw that and realized, "My God, they're actually trying to pretend they care about whites." Not sure the middle-class white guy cares about the views of a Forbes 500 CEO, though.
"I was actually pretty impressed with my high school for allowing Dennis to go ahead as a man without a nation."
- Obama has Dennis covered under 'gay'.

Southern Europeans in my family are far more racially aware than the average American and also much less likely to vote Democrat. They are largely business owners whose childhood neighborhoods were block busted back in the 1970's and moved as far as they could to avoid the undertow. The Slavic side is made up of business professionals with various connections to organized labor, and they'll never vote Republican.
"But you just as much as admitted that despite being just as eligible for legacy candidacy as anyone else, it's not enough for blacks, and they need extra help."
No, it's hard to build a legacy, Sport, when you can't buy property or attend college, that's the simple reason why you don't get a log of black "legacy" admits.
"Say what you will, but Romney really did give away his inheritance and start over, living in a tiny little basement apt. in Utah. What he had was smarts.
No shit? That's balls, too. Funny how this is the first time I'm hearing this."
No; first of all Romney CLAIMS to have given his inheritance away, he has never substantiated this, secondly his father died when he was FORTY-NINE YEARS OLD. So living in a basement with his wife, 5 grown men, and billions of dollars in Bain, send jobs to Beijing money is quite an accomplishment!
Unless there is a huge increase in white racial consciousness soon, expect to start seeing increasing numbers of "European and Mediterranean Americans" declining to identify as "white" and instead trying to stowaway on the minority victim group gravy train.
"Hate speech" is really speaking the truth that Jews hate us. So, Jews are free to hate us, but we cannot say they hate us. Speaking the truth about Jew is 'hate speech'.
Let's just say Jews tend to have an adversarial relationship with reality, particularly racial reality.
Europe is little more than the western peninsula of northern Asia. It is not much of a geographical continent, and carries too much cultural baggage from the Crusades, Age of Discovery, and the Cold War.
That's just something people who hate Europeans (and European existence) say.
Europe and the Mediterranean does make more sense.
It's not nonsensical to see (or value) a connection, but there's no reason it makes more sense.
