Can somebody add it to the 'history' section:

The new classification, which will come into effect with 2030 United States census, will only include Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Georgians and Turks in the 'White' classification while the other Western Asian ancestries will be falling under the 'Middle Eastern' category.^[1]^[2] ~2026-31061-79 (talk) 13:55, 24 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Spaniards were the first Europeans to settle in the United States.

Add this information to history section:

Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León is recognized as the first documented European to set foot on the mainland of present-day United States. In April 1513, he arrived on the coast of Florida, naming the area La Florida and claiming it for Spain. During his journey, he came across Native American tribes, including the Calusa.^[3] ~2026-35945-54 (talk) 07:14, 20 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not done: This isn't particularly relevant to this article, which doesn't present a history of European colonization of America (that's covered in other articles). Day Creature (talk) 16:50, 20 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
