The study found that White Americans are, on average:

98.6% European
0.19% African
0.18% Native American

BUT it also found also found that:

Only 3.5% of Whites have African ancestry
Only 2.7% of Whites have Native American ancestry

So, around 95% of White Americans have no African or Amerindian ancestry, and White Americans are only 1.4% non-European, on average.

Compare that figure to some other ethnic groups of Europe:

Morodovians have ~12% Siberian ancestry
Finns have ~8% Siberian ancestry
Iberians have ~5% North African ancestry
Italians have ~2% North African ancestry


According to US Census Bureau data, the largest ancestries of White Americans are:

German (13%)
Irish (12%)
English (9%)
Italian (6%)
French (4%)
Polish (3%)
Scottish (3%)
Scotch-Irish (2%)
Dutch (1%),
Norwegian (1%)
Swedish (1%)
Russian (1%)

However, many British Americans self-report simply as "Americans" (7%), meaning that the Anglo proportion is likely under-represented.
