Destrier. We are more culturally aware than any other country in the world since we are made up of ALL peoples of the world. We just don't happen to CARE that much for other so-called "cultures." We're realists.

I guess they do not know that. I do not think they are blatantly trying to offend people they just do not know any better. It says Myanmar on the map so that is what they call it.
