I know I'm just saying that it's simply what I think everyone thinks that Australia is desert wasteland that everyone think Russia is coldest country in the entire world and is a bad as Antartica if not worse uk is wettest place on earth it's not Mexico is not complete desert.i agree with the one about China
It's not quite true, the USA is often stereotyped as having a typical or idealized NH four season climate with warm to hot summers, then fall leaves, snowy winters etc. Especially in the SH where the leaves and snow aren't so familiar.
One complicating factor is that LA and surroundings are very well known because of the film and entertainment industries.
expect the uk which is same everywhere you go so show something different that is not the same weather everywhere in all these countries however no one calls the United States as either hot everywhere or cold everywhere because it depends on where you are same with all these nations.
You really think the UK has the same climate everywhere? I would say southern England is quite different than Scotland for one.
sensationalism why we always hear so many people die in India from heat or why some like Sochi will not appear on the news because is is not extreme like for instance the cold in the Midwest and heat in southwest in exaggerated because than it make headlines same with the Middle East or the reason and bushfires in Australia make international headlines it because their exciting.
I think you may be generalizing a bit too much. Loads of people all over the world saw how warm Sochi was that they couldn't even properly hold the Winter Olympics and we all saw the snowcapped mountains and the green valleys with the palm trees.
Saibot I'm not from the USA but because I speak English language of England (UK) so does the USA so I dream of living their not just because there is no language barrier but because there s o much to do so much explore I could Death Valley see the northern lights go skiing in Colorado to surfing in California so yeah.
This is called being seduced by Hollywood BS. You can dream of living here, but so much of this country is same same and not at all as climatically exciting as you think. Large swaths of the country (midwest, upper midwest etc) change very little for hundreds and hundreds of miles.

Quite the opposite really. The bulk of the country is very climatically exciting with four properly defined seasons. Honestly, the only truly boring parts are the areas that are in the vicinity (say 100 to 200 miles) of the west coast and the Gulf coast.
It's because in the Anglosphere, the US is well-understood as a large country of regions, and those regions are what is stereotyped. It's well-understood this way because of the dominance of American mass media in the English-speaking world.
This is also why Canada's always portrayed as an icebox, Australia as a desert, New Zealand as Middle Earth, and Great Britain as the terrestrial manifestation of depression.
I have never in my 74 years living in the USA heard anyone say or write they think its climate USA is the "most climatically diverse country on earth". Or heard anyone say all of China is the same -- including my four grandparents, none of whom finished grade school.
People say that all the time because it is. The contiguous US alone has 26 mapped Köppen climate types to China’s 18

The US is stereotyped for hot, tropical desert (the southwest) tropical (Florida and Hawaii) subtropical and humid (the south) temperate 4 season (the northeast) mountainous and alpine (the west, Colorado) mild and Mediterranean (California) temperate and rainy (the Pacific Northwest) extremely continental, stormy and often semi-arid (the Midwest and the Great Plains) and Frigid/Arctic (Alaska). Different states have their own stereotypes.
It’s not just LA that complicates things and the US isn’t just known for four seasons aside from people like you, who are obsessed with making the US out to be more “continental” than it is.
