Again, I’m comparing to other nations. Go to China, for example. Go to Canton, then go to Xinjiang, and finally to Beijing. Three entirely different cultural areas, with different majority languages. You simply cannot find anything remotely close in the USA. Now do the same in Russia, and move from Moscow to Tatarstan, then Ulan-Ude and then to Chechnya. Again, the US is very homogeneous for a country with its span and population.
West coast, new england, bible belt, bayou/french south, texas, the midwest, the latin basin. These are vastly different cultural regions. Your argument isn’t holding water to me. I’ve lived in many different places, and you just can’t have a landmass as big as the US or China and make it homogenous. It just doesn’t happen. People don’t work that way.
