I'm not saying this is the majority of people, but there's a certain subsection of Americans that are so ignorant of everything outside of their small towns it is unbelievable.

When your entire word is the local bar and fried okra, your views on the world isn't very diverse.

Some guy at a bar in Texas started giving me shit and was saying "WE KICKED YOUR ASS IN WORLD WAR 2."

He was probably drunk and getting the two phrases mixed up but it gave me and my friend a good joke for the rest of the trip

It definitely happens mate, it's not the majority but a lot of middle aged / older americans are thick as shit about anything that is beyond their own lives. Plenty of Brits are fucking stupid as well but most have at least left Britain a few times.

Yes, a burger once asked me if Europe was a country and a teacher of an american school in California wanted to send to my english teacher a digital camera for an exchange program video because she thought we didn't have them in Italy.

Some people will likely ask you if you're from "the Hitler country" or something like that. I grew up in the rural South and now live in DC, the type of poor and stupid people vary greatly but America is a lot more insulated than Yurp.

Lad, I went to England, and when I said I was from Dublin, they asked if that was in the North. It's not like everyone in the UK is particularly well-educated.
