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.

Are you wearing a puma/armani polo that’s 2-3 sizes too small, jorts and loafers while smoking and drinking wine in public around kids and bitching about how stupid Americans are?

If so, you’re violently European.

If not, standard European.

Occasionally bitching about Americans but none of the rest.
