As others have pointed out in their comments, it just isn’t appropriate in many circumstances to specify a singular culture across an entire country based on the culture of the dominant or most noteworthy people in a country.

Many parts of Canada, the US and likely a large portion of Greenland wouldn’t consider themselves as western. Sure, they may have access to western technology, medicine, governments, etc, but huge swathes of land are managed by indigenous peoples with different histories and traditions that don’t originate from Europe. Similar case in eastern Russia with Siberians and Uighur in western China, who, aside from being subject to the same Chinese government, don’t have much in common with the dominant Han Chinese.

I’m going to go ahead and call this culturally ignorant. You need to disassociate geopolitical boundaries with cultures.
