Going to Europe is a big deal for Americans, it marks you out as a very sophisticated and worldly one. where exactly in Europe doesn't matter and you wouldn't want to confuse people with names they've never heard
Most only go the once, and try to hit as many spots for a day each as they can. they saved up for years to afford it and the boss will never let them take their two weeks in a row like that again
they will then be the local authority on Italy because they have a picture at the Colosseum

ITT: Non americans speaking for america out of sheer butthurt
the reason we refer to you lot as 1 country is primarily because you collective lot have the total relevance of one country to us, and we can't be assed to give half a flying fuck about you lot individually because you are all so god damn irrelevant at all times of ever.
be glad we even remember you collective lot as a whole, we could simply not give a fuck about europe and let you fucktard become slavic rape toys, in fact that actually appeals to us these days, i'd suggest you lot rightfully go back to kissing our ass because you are all insufferable cunts.

Americans lump Europe together as a larger entity.

Yet split up the UK into smaller entities despite it being one sovereign country since before the USA existed.

Because its so small, for them traveling from country to country takes less time and effort than going from one state to another.
>>
>>57106429
No they don't, whenever some murritard makes a thread about some embarrassing news story to mock Europe with, it's always something from England.
>>
>>57105953
Because Americans generally view Europeans as very similar, and when Americans go to Europe they usually go to multiple different countries given how European countries are relatively small and the borders are open. So, instead of saying "I went to France, Germany, Austria, and Slovenia", they say "I went to Europe" and usually highlight the most important places they visit like Paris and Frankfurt because it's much more practical and simpler then listing off all the countries you visited.

To put this in context, if you visited Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island would you list all of those states when telling your friends? No, you'd say that you visited New England or the Northeastern US.

tl;dr It's much more practical to just say Europe than listing all of the countries you went to.
>>
>>57105953
It's just not important. Outside of France, Germany, Italy, and the U.K., most Americans don't know shit about other Euro countries

It's to catch people's attention in a converasation. When you say that the other person will probably say "really familiar where in Europe".
>>
>>57107812
Maybe if you'd have had more diaspora you'd get a mention like Ireland does because of muh heritage
>>57107831
True but if they did they'd just say England.
>>
>>57107848
But they literally are in some aspects. The sizeable indigenous population of New Mexico still speaks their own languages which are not even in the same language family as what is spoken in Maine, where as Ukrainian and Portuguese are in the same language family.

The difference is that the indigenous population don't consider themselves American the same way as you consider yourself American. Besides, they're are a very small minority because.. you know.. genocide, amirite?

In regards to cultural diversity Europe has: Nordics, Britcucks, Germans, Eastern Euros, Lazy Southeners, Baguettes and Balkanshits

US has: East Coast, West Coast, South and Flyover States

That's how specific you need and can be when telling where you're from.

Western New Mexico is primarily indigenous, and since the area was under Spanish control for a long time they weren't killed off as much as other natives.

Why is it so hard for Europeans to wrap their head around the idea that different states in America have different demographics, different histories, and were formed by different immigrant groups?

>Two low-accomplishment nations attacking the intelligence of a high-accomplishment nation

lel. In anthropology human intelligence is measured by skill, accomplishment and power maneuvering. People on /int/ instead correlate intelligence with small bits of accumulated trivia and facts, knowledge of games and anime or being introverted. The tendency of people with the latter "smarts" to vastly overestimate their own intelligence is the Dunning-Kruger effect
