It doesn't, and I always catch myself in the act But there is a difference between saying "americans are 6 hours away from europeans" and "americans are dumb because they don't pay service workers enough so they need to ask for tips"

Well that's also a broad generalization as many service industry workers like tipping because it actually gives them a higher wage then a set salary. Its the reason why when they try to abolish it most places go back to it at the request of the workers. Varies based on where and industry ofc. Not disagreeing with how using a continental category sucks out all of the nuance of a people, place, and culture. But it can be used effectively, just needs to be recognized as a blunt instrument, not a scalpel. As for ignorant statement, well that's more on the person than the word. imo Hard to reference hundreds of millions of people with any kind of nuance.

Agreed The one on the service industry was an example of a bad generalisation, in fact

As in - I have no idea what the tipping culture is across the US, let alone in central / souther America, but I'm pretty sure it's not uniform
