Is it me or Americans and British (West) are so ignorant and yet so judgemental of other cultures and peoples?

Question

I say this because it seems all I hear about Africa In the UK and USA is so far from reality and it frightens me that such countries make big decisions that affect the rest of the world, which they do not even know about?
A recent report on CNN's inside Africa claimed Zimbabweans were so hungry they were eating mice.FACT:Shona people in Zimbabwe have always searched for and eaten mice.When I grew up it was actually a delicacy.this might sound revolting to you as it did to me when I learnt some people ate Snails!.Yes people are suffering in Zimbabwe but eating mice is not a sign of the extent of the suffering.
So CNN please consult Zimbabweans before you make stories about Zimbabwe and AFRICA as a whole.
A word to my American and British brothers, not all people behave as you do and travel a bit and learn about other people B4 u make wrong assumptions!

Answer 1

Personally, I think the west focuses way too much on African problems. We have our own problems to deal with and I wish our governments would focus on those rather than worrying about everyone else's problems.

Answer 2

Aren't you being a little judgmental in asking that question? Lol. I'm Canadian. I don't like the American or British government, but it doesn't mean everyone in the country is like Bush or Tony Blair.

CNN doesn't reflect the views of a whole nation, it's a news channel.

Answer 3

You know what is scarier? A large number of US Senators, members of congress have no clue wether Ossama Bin Ladin is Sunni or Shiite. What can one infer from this ignorance?? Supposedly, this is the arch enemy of the USA.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

It you.

Answer 7

Sorry, It is you.
