Also: generalizing something for all of Europe is as about as useful as generalizing for the US. Both span a huge landmass with diverse populations, but often people generalize from their point of view to the whole.

US only has americans. Europe obviously has different nationalities so it is far more diverse. Poor analogy.

I would argue that the US are large enough that the diversity in the in the population is more extreme than in a single European country. Yes, they all identify as (US) Americans, but if you compare e.g. California to Minnesota the difference is more comparable to Germany vs. Ukraine than two regions in Germany.
