>>> So, the 75% of America that is 'Ethnically European' is already very varied

Maybe genetically (although even that is debatable). But after a few generations you kind of iron out the differences between, say, a German - American and a Polish - American.

The differences between Germans and Polish are much larger. They speak German and Polish for instance vs just English.

I agree with your points, but I just don't think America is nearly as culturally homogenous as basically any European country.

I didn't say that (although I disagree with that too). But I'm addressing the comparison between European Americans and actual Europeans.
