There is no such thing as a "European culture". The European Union is a loosely bound groups of countries with different languages and cultures tied together by varying degrees of relationship and exchanges throughout their histories.

Local cultures in European countries seem to be doing fine.

There’s not really a European identity like American’s have. You can live in Texas or Idaho, but consider yourself American. I’ve never met a Spaniard, German, or Englishmen consider themselves European first, and their nationality second.
