The U.S.A has “a” culture the same way Europe has “a” culture or Southeast Asia has “a” culture.
That’s… a really BAD conflation right there, going all the way back to complete ignorance upon the founding of the USA (which is not flattering), but to compare it to Europe and S.E. Asia… WTF??
True, but there’s an argument to be made that there is a broader European culture in addition to the various national and regional cultures. The US is the same, with states having 1 or more unique cultures to them in addition to a broader more general American culture

I think the implication they are making is that the US is a huge geographic region containing many different cultures… like Europe and SE Asia

yes, that was exactly my point.
Hmm… I daresay you’ve got a point, mssr.
Now what?
