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.

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.
