Speaking in general, American teens have awful geography.
In my Spanish class, a boy told a girl that she looked Arabic, and she didn't know what that was (Arab, Middle Eastern) The boy said it meant that she was "like, Indian" Indians are South Asians, they are different races and American teens should know what Arabic is post-9/11.
In my English class, we got to do brochures on any country in the Middle East or Europe...one student selected India and no one realized that India is not in the Middle East.
It's not just teenagers...many people think that Indians are Middle Easterners, that Hindus and Muslims are the same, and that Middle Easterners and South Asians are the same, these people are a disgrace!
