do they know anything about anything? i've talked with many americans about a lot of things. i just wanted to find out what their opinion is. some of them don't even say "i think" or "i read" but use the expression "we were tought that...". i don't know what they are reading in school but the impresion is they don't read at all. they are educated to have only one point of interest and they leave other things for the others. maybe you should have asked an american geographer.:)

I love the common ignorant stereotype that "Americans don't know about anything outside of their country." It's so ironic! The people who say stupid things like that don't know much outside of their own little world.
How many people out there, without looking at a map, know the capital of New York...or which state the Grand Canyon is in?
I know that Budapest is the capital of Hungary and that the "Hun" part comes from Attila.

Um, in the event that they mentioned that, then it rather is you respond. i'm sorry to point this although rather frequently on a similar time as a caucasian takes interest, in our custom, we glance to sense it rather is with the aid of the reality that they are the two seeking to immolate us, or make a chortle human beings. There are some first actual-cost caucasians interior the U. S. although each and every now and then the risky can out quantity the nicely. i'm satisfied you may desire to prefer to entice close approximately the historic previous of diverse cultures, as to your comments keep in them, your now not there for them your there for your self, and no count if it rather is what you prefer to do then do it.

It extremely does not subject count what they sense of you.

Wik Neets is right. Ask any Hungarians, 99% of us has no idea what is the capital or where is Georgia, for example. Why do we expect Americans to know anything about our insignificant small country? Do we know anything about Suriname? Of course not. We're just out of their scope.

A lot of Americans know very little about most countries in the world. It's not their fault. It's the fault of their education system.

Yes, what would like to eat. Also, realize that if so many people don't even know that your country doesn't even exist, then why do you take your life so seriously?
