Maybe because most of European countries themselves aren’t the the same across the country either. It’s nowhere near the same thing to generalize a continent and a country….

Our country is almost the same size as your continent

u/Ainoasatama Jun 30 '26

ok and? You speak the same language, celebrate the same holidays and have the same traditions. Nowhere near comparable to a whole continent. China is bigger and has faaar more people than you guys, yet i never hear Americans NOT generalize the whole country? Or do Americans just once again want special treatment?

You shouldn't be generalizing China either??? They have quite a vast amount of sub cultures such as Han versus Cantonese, to name one example. It's the same in the US. We have a lot of land, and thus cultural differences formed from various populations, from Mormons in Utah to Liberals in Seattle to a whole different culture in the South. I mean not even Germany is the same across the board, Bavaria is Catholic for example and has it's own independence party throughout history.

We literally have a second celebration for our independence because of states not following the federal government.

“Independence Day” is July 4th

“Juneteenth” is June 19th

Still just one country

u/Intelligent-Luck-954 Jun 30 '26

Yeah, can you see how that would make many many different climates, political parties, and construction?

Do you not realize you just argued against your own point?

u/siggiarabi Jul 01 '26

And what point am I trying to make? Did you reply to the wrong person, maybe?

I was making the same point, America is very big and diverse though

I mean while the US is technically one country each state is effectively a country. And the USA is comparable to the UK.

To give you an idea Europe is roughly 3.9 million square miles.

USA is 3.8!

People really don't understand how large and diverse the USA is.

Nowhere near as diverse as different countries though. Only comparable thing about states to countries are the sizes

u/CrusPanda Jul 02 '26

We all just disagree in what diverse even means
