Hmmm... to tell the truth, I'm not sure. Normally I'd say "Yes" since I consider Atanasoff Bulgarian, but he probably didn't spend much time living here. I've seen some documentaries where he himself can't decide if he's American or Bulgarian. So there really isn't a way for me to tell. But on the other hand, Mr. Quinn's family also immigrated from Europe, just like John Atanasoff's father, Ivan. It all depends. I'd doubt that Mr Quinn thinks of himself that he's more European than American, although his family is jew.
But on the other side, if we don't mind the way they think of themselves, I wouldn't say one of them is more European than the other. Because as I said, part of both their families came from Europe.
Both sides of the question have to be given a good look at, and more research is needed, but for now, based on facts, not what I personally think, I'd say one is just as european as the other.

Why did Hitler want to kill everyone not Aryan?
Who knows? Maybe not even Hitler himself knew exactly? And even though most people (including me) consider him sick, crazy and everything else that comes to our minds and is close to phycho, he had his opinion. Everyone is free to choose his political and religious understandings, even though were not the same as somebody else's. What he did he thought was right. Maybe he considered everyone else danger to Aryans or "not worthy living" because of their understandings? Whatever his cause was, he was ready to die for it. And so he did, suiciding himself in 1945, when WWII ended.
What does it mean to be European?
What does it mean to be European? To live in Europe? No, atleast not to me. Although I was born here, I live here and my country is part of the EU, I don't feel European. I don't know about other people, but does Europe do anything to make us feel European? No, why should it. Does our government do anything to make us feel European? No! Atleast I didn't see it. So we're part of the EU, big deal! What are we getting from it? Better education? Better salaries? Better jobs? No! A big nothing (exept easier travelling between countries)! I don't see life in Bulgaria being like life in the UK, or somewhere else in Europe. Sure, there are countries that are worse than Bulgaria. But why does it happen so, that when we try to prosper, we go down?
I don't know what does it exactly mean to be European, but everybody has an oppinion. And mine's that you're European when you feel that way.
And I still don't and probably never will, until I see something coming out of it.
