There's a strand of politics here whereby some British people don't want the UK to be part of Europe, these are mostly (though not exclusively) on the political right and they'll have a kneejerk reaction to being called European in any situation.

Being English as opposed to British isn't really a political thing though (although being Scottish is!), most people will just use the terms British/English in different situations (British when abroad, English when in Britain etc.) As such, if I am outside Europe then being European would seem to be a good description but not if I was inside it.

Personally, being European is fine for me in any case (because we are, unless somehow we become unmoored from our current position!)

Doesn't really answer the question asked in Legally Blonde the musical.

As if that's an either/or proposition.
