In what way is Europe more homogenous than the US? My perception as someone from neither place is that Europe is much more culturally diverse.

Europe is divided into countries that are not very diverse. At the same time, the U.S. is not divided and has very integrated societies.
The U.S. is only nearly 65% white, trending lower, and has a high percentage of African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and Middle Easterns.
No European country has the U.S. demographics or is even close to it. While European countries have different cultures, no individual country has as much cultural diversity as the U.S.
Europe is split into very small homogenous countries. The U.S. is a very big integrated society, with much more tension because different individuals will have different values and everyone will be more likely to resort to violence, especially when guns are very easy to access in most states.
