That's because it's as pointless as african american studies.
All have merit in their own right.
Not really. African studies is a thing (and European studies is a thing). However African American studies is a subset of American studies, just like European American studies. It's not like we have a special trigonometry department.
There are "Whiteness Studies" that exist to disparage white people because colonialism. Actual positive in-depth looks at European culture, yeah, no, nobody's loony enough to do that in the current shitfest of an environment.
