If you drop Mississippi, Idaho, West Virginia, Arkansas, South Carolina, and Alabama from the US numbers, then the US GDP per capita number would look bigger. Anyone can get different numbers by cherry-picking higher performers and dropping lower performers, but OP wrote "Europe" not "this list of rich countries in Europe".

It's not cherry picking. One of these entities is a nation and the other is not. It's a bad comparison.

No it isn't, people compare the EU and the US all the time. A bad comparison would be comparing the US to the Nordic subsection.

People doing something all the time doesn't make it a good comparison.
