I lwonder if China’s population is more or less ethnically and culturally homogeneous than that of the USA,
It comes across as extremely insincere to just pose these questions publicly. If you actually wondered that, you would look it up. What you’re actually doing is covertly implying an answer that you think is true and would never question, without having the spine to actually state that answer yourself because you know that you have no actual facts to back up what you’re suggesting.
I’m actually curious and wondering out loud for the sake of discussion. I have my own bias like everyone else, but I asked because I want to explore it rather than project half-baked opinions, so I pose the question for discussion. It’s a not a trivial question to get an answer for by googling.
Given that China’s population is overwhelmingly more ethnically and culturally homogeneous
What? It’s more diverse, not less. There are hundreds of living indigenous languages in China, and some of which aren’t even in the Sino-Tibetan language family. Just as one example, there are a several of Turkish ethnic groups, which are different from each other, and very different from Han, Tibetan, Koreanic, etc. cultures.
Turns out it’s easy to claim you’re more diverse when you count people who’s great great great grandfather’s came from different cities in the British Islands as different ethnic groups, but consider everyone East of the Urals to be an undifferentiated mass
“if we say that white and black people are different races, and continue to treat Asians as an undifferentiated horde, then the massive population of second class slave descendants means America is more diverse!”

I literally googled “ethnic groups in china wikipedia” and “ethnic groups in the US wikipedia” and the results (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_China & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States) seem to immediately and unambiguously reject the idea of China as some kind of homogenous ethnostate that the US can’t emulate because it has too high a concentration of melanin or whatever fascist bullshit you were trying to say.
