In the context of racial or ethno-nationalist politics, this may refer to the culture or peoples of Europe (see anti-white sentiment in the United States ); In the shorthand of „Europe“ standing for the European Union or European integration , it can refer to Euroscepticism , criticism of policies of European governments or the European Union. ^[1] In the context of United States foreign policy, it can refer to the geopolitical divide between “ transatlantic „, „transpacific“ and „hemispheric“ (pan-American) relations. The nominal antonyms would be pro-Europeanism or Europhilia.

„Europhobia“ is used of British attitudes toward the Continent , either in the context of anti-German sentiment or anti-Catholicism , ^[2] or, more recently, of Euroscepticism in the United Kingdom .
