Sounds like we're both wrong, then.

If I drive 45 minutes east, I'm in something akin to the US south. Extremely conservative in specific ways. North a few hours and everyone distrusts anyone who didn't grow up there.

45 minutes west and I'm in everyone's favorite (not) failed city, San Francisco.

And those very conservative places I mentioned.. are quite different from south conservative. They drive the same vehicles, wear the same hats, but don't hold the same values.

California, for all its notoriety as being overly accepting has known pla es POC are advised against visiting. Some areas are very non-church and others are profoundly Christian or other religions.

We have enclaves of near-pure ethnic/cultural people tracing back to wherever. I'm not simply talking about Chinatown or Japan town.

We're not a monolith even within a small area. I didn't assert that the EU was. Only that we are more diverse than credited.

Particularly when the topic arises by people comfortable talking others how to be when they know nothing of the person or people.
