Dude, Africa and Asia are totally monoliths too, it's not exclusive to Europe.

Re: Eurpoeans

As is America. Like...they all are. Because all continents/countries/areas are huge.

It may not be quite as relevant in the states because I believe the states themselves have more dominion than the nation (anything not specifically stated to be a national issue in the constitution is a state issue? I think?) but in Canada, despite our ridiculously huge land mass, it is not inappropriate to describe us mostly as monolithic. Most of our history is only a few hundred years old (excepting the Natives, and I argue against people defining them as a monolith for the same reasons as Europe), the old immigration policies mean we have a similar mix of ethnicities most places (Asian immigrants being an exception, being more common out west), and our media and pop culture is very centralized. I have lived in the west, the center, and am now in the east. There are some local idiosyncrasies, but for the most part it's all very generically Canadian.

That got ridiculously wordy. My point was that size is not a good indicator of whether or not something can reasonably be described monolithically. In some cases, I would argue the USA could, because they have the same national language, government, system of government, and passports for all corners. Not so in Europe. It's situational, true, and describing anything as a whole will necessarily gloss over some parts, but in general? Describing the USA as a whole is not near as incorrect as describing Europe that way.

tl;dr Describing almost anything as a monolith is necessarily not quite correct, but the scale of how incorrect is so hugely different for the USA vs. Europe that it's ridiculous to compare the two.

Example: Every American passport is written in English. Only in the UK (and possibly Ireland? I really don't know) do Europeans have English passports.

Ireland's passport is written in both English and Irish, iirc.
