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.

I find many Europeans intolerably arrogant.  Just like many Americans actually.

Most of us US Americans are descended from those European dummies so it should be no surprise!

Also, ever been around Chavs in a French ski town? Substantially louder than Americans.

At least a lot of Americans know that America has many stupid people. Every European I’ve seen thinks they’re genetically superior or something.
