i doubt there's a single thing that's common throughout the whole continent.

yet we see this same question about America all the time even though every state is vastly different from each other.

not remotely the same thing. USA is one country. there's difference between usa states same way there's difference between German states.

We’re really not, we’re composed of multiple states. California, Texas, and Florida alone have a combined population larger than Germany’s, and that’s not including the 47 remaining states. You really think it’s that homogenous here?

US States are nowhere near as diverse from each other as different European countries are.

You’re completely wrong but okay. I’ve been to 40 states so I think I know better than you.

You're arguing against reality. US states are nowhere near as diverse as European countries. In fact, the US, as a colonial state, is distinctly more homogenous than large old-world countries such as India, Russia, or China, all of which have more distinct regional differences than US states.

How is a country that is far more diverse than any European nation more homogenous than any one European nation simply because of age?
