America is a monoculture too, to non-racialists. The differences between Americans can be attributed to sub-region and class/income - not race

What exactly do you think 'culture' means?
There's nothing about culture that ties it permanently to race, if that's what you're insinuating. Racial diversity does not imply cultural diversity - which is an incorrect shortcut that I've seen most people who deploy the "but the nordics are not as diverse" argument - especially American whose media consumption tends to be more insular.
I think there's a fallacy at play - not sure which one it is, whereby a person sees a lot of nuance, variation and detail in the minutiae of what they are familiar with, but the unfamiliar is painted in very broad strokes, lacking nuance, and based on surface-level understanding.
I would agree. It's similar to the lack of deep knowledge of public health systems in other countries, which are typically understood as slogans.
There's also the unwritten parts of a 'Scandinavian Model' (or whoever). These are monocultures with their own logic and behavior.
