Genre,  not geography makes the difference.  The diatonic is preferred 
wherever  blues is popular.  

European and Asian students typically learn to  read and play chromatic 
music.  Although not impossible on a diatonic, it  is certainly easier and more 
natural on a chromatic harmonica.

If you  are ready to practice assiduously to play classical music  (or any 
other  kind!), Bonfiglio's annotated Bona exercises are a good resource.    
They develop reading, timing, and  tongue-switching.
