Ignorance that's enabled by the whole place having a single name. Europe gets different treatment because all the countries have their own names, governments, etc. The regions of the US are surprisingly different in many ways, but may not even line up with the various state boundaries so most of the time it's just "America" too. Probably not as diverse as India (I've never been, so it's just a guess) but still nowhere near as homogeneous as some European countries are.
