Does anyone else find that US States tend to be kinda similar

Standard disclaimer that I'm from the UK, and I love the USA. I've been there a lot of times and met many kind and courteous people. As far as nations go I'm quite passionate about it. <br><br>So I'm wondering, with the USA boasting a multitude of states and the UK sporting a variety of regions, do you consider the regional variations to be minor and not really that different after all?<br><br>For me in the UK, I can tell a lot about a person from their tone of voice, slang and overall dialect. Even if someone was wearing sunglasses and I couldn't see their face (for whatever reason) I could probably trace their origins down to anything from a city to a group of streets if I was extremely familiar with that area. I know that isn't the case in the US. I'm not talking about New York sounding different to Texas, I'm talking about on a smaller more subtle scales. <br><br>Let's say someone goes from an area with a lot of Germans and goes to one that's largely made up of Vietnamese residents, they'd both be considered Texans by the average person. Or New Yorkers. I'm asking about the areas WITHIN a state. Is it still lacking that level of subtle detail that we have? On a regional level, are you all fairly Americanized?
