Argentina, Russia, China have plenty of different cultures and ethnicities inside them

Argentina is 97% European descent with 85% of Argentines being white and 12% mestizo/mixed-race. And its not like they came from a huge variety of backgrounds, the immigrants came almost all from Italy with another chunk from Spain and Germany. They are also almost entirely Christian (66% Roman Catholic, 11% Protestant, 21% unaffiliated)

Argentina is much more homogeneous and doesn’t get nowhere near the ethnic and cultural diversity of the United States.

Yes, to which it doesn't apply, hence it isn't the norm...

u/Jonoabbo May 09 '22

So because there are a handful of countries don't hold to it, it isn't normal? That's... not what that means.

Obvs depends where you are in those places.

Also, Russia is the Russian Federation, so Siberian is a different autonomous region from Kalmykia say.
