[...] the US is vastly different depending on where you go. So while it might not feel "exotic" to some, you are basically receiving a similar experience as one would if they traveled across Europe.

Do western europeans all love football?

Most popular sport in Ireland is Gaelic football, most popular in Latvia and Estonia is basketball, most popular in Finland is ice hockey.

Most popular sport in the USA is NFL in every state bar 2 and those two are NBA.

Are they in a politcal union?

No, Norway and Switzerland aren't in the EU.

Do they eat a lot of really similar foods?

No not at all, compare French cuisine to traditional Polish food then compare those to Italian food then compare that to Greek food. Completely fucking different.

Do they have cultures so intertwined that even the languages are hybids of each other?

Not all. Germanic, romance, celtic and uralic languages are about as different as you can get as groups in a small area.

I don't really understand how sharing some words makes Europe less diverse than America where everyone speaks English for the most part.

Do they share a wode assortment of political and social ideals?

European legal systems are completely different from one state of one country to the next never mind from country to country, England and Wales use common law and Scotland uses civil law, the entire USA as large and diverse as it is uses common law except for louisianna.

As for shared ideals no more shared than is shared between us States. And even then no Country has one set of ideals, which is why you would know if you knew anything about European politics is that there are sort of "pan European super parties" for parties with similar ideals from each country to work together, every country in Europe has up to a dozen political parties with a wide range of political views, the USA has 2 with very little effective difference between them.

Have they been to war with one another?

This makes Europe more like one single homogeneous place how?

NYC has more in common with amsterdam than it does with any given spot on the map south of the mason dixon line

NYC similarities with Amsterdam, urban, cosmopolitan.

NYC similarities with any place in the south of the USA, both populated with Americans. Both share a legal system, both share a government. Both share a legal system. Both share an education system. Both watch the same sports. Both have the same tv channels. Both speak English.
