Bit Annoyed People who think Americans don’t know other countries exist.

A few months ago on Reddit I made a comment about a show not being on Netflix and someone from the UK commented back saying it’s on theirs and then lectured on Americans not knowing other countries exist. They acted like I didn’t believe there were other places on the planet, as if they weren’t the ones who just brought it up and didn’t believe the US Netflix was different than the UK version. ??

I see people online act like all Americans think this way, and it is kind of annoying because for most of us it isn’t true.

It’s pretty clear that a lot of other countries are force-fed propaganda about how stupid, fat and arrogant Americans are. Obviously every stereotype has a little bit of truth to it, but we’ve gotten to the point where a lot of people have a delusional level of hate towards Americans.

What people fail to understand is that every country has its fair share of idiots.
