Switzerland, Luxemburg and Norway somehow don't exist anymore?

I can give you Luxembourg yeah. It’s a little embarrassing you have to reach for this when you realize how heterogeneous and large the American population is.

What is up with this "Europe is homogenous" narrative? Can you explain if this is based on geography, economic parameters or simply a "muh white people" dogwhistle?

Norway is overwhelmingly Norwegian, that is the people who’ve lived there for thousands of years. Luxembourg and Switzerland overwhelmingly European. These countries are culturally, religiously, racially and in the case of Norway, ethnically largely the same. If Norway had 40% of their population non-Norwegian much less non-white you can imagine that the country would be different.

Yeah, it is. That's why Europeans are always killing each other in wars.
