"European" is a geographic adjective. It does not apply to domination of other places. No amount of willpower will make the places that europe chooses to rape "european".

It's not purely geographic. It's possessive, it's cultural.

A Spanish dish is Spanish outside of Spain as well, as is a French song or a Danish person (the relevant one in this case!).
