Americans can only be born in "Texas", Chicago, New York, or LA.

"New York" could feasibly extend to NJ and pennsylvania

Sorry, but I don't think any American could even point that out on a map.

Could a European either?

How many times have the borders of all those tiny southeast European countries changed in the last 20 years, anyway?

Very true.

[–]ondrograf 0 points1 point ago

The same happens other way - Slovakia as seen by Americans = Slovenia. But you must admit that our country names and flags are a little bit confusing

We learned all the states of the u.s. around 4th grade, I doubt many people in Europe or the US have such delusions. The problem is, idiots love attention.

[–]griffin3141 1 point2 points ago

So true about California. Europeans will treat you a lot differently when you say you're from "California" instead of "America"

[–]Terps34 0 points1 point ago

really? see, in America, when we hear "i'm from California," we think "oh lord. douchebag alert."

Even living in Canada, most of us see the US as such. Kind of sad really, I know and love a lot of really intelligent and open-minded Americans.

Actually I think Europeans have a slight idea on what is going on in the USA.

[–]k-willis 5 points6 points ago

As an American living in Scotland, I can at least attest to the west coast part of the US map being true. While I certainly don't expect anyone to know where Portland, Oregon is, but I do find myself having to explain that the entire west coast is not warm, sunny, and full of palm tree as in Southern California.

Hahaha, sometimes I am. But I do think I'd miss the seasons if I lived somewhere like SoCal

[–]Gernony 2 points3 points ago

Definitely. Everybody over here knows California doesn't go all the way north because there's Kurt Cobain.

exactly. people in europe hear alot about amarican culture and are taught english in schools therefore we might know more about american culture than americans know about our culture(s) in the americans defense europe is not one country so there is a lot more to handle. ps. i know america really isnt a country. meant USA

[–]gligoran -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I, as a European, agree. At the very least add Florida and Washington D.C.

As for the "Europe" picture, there are videos that show that some of you don't even know this much.

[–]ProfitMoney 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, operative word is "some". I would venture a guess that those people are in the minority. You know those videos just cherry pick it's respondents right? Jay Leno's done that bit for years.

Besides, how funny would that bit be if you gave everyone a fair shot and didn't just show the dumb people?

[–]MackenzieMax 1 point2 points ago

I was interviewed for JayWalking once, and I feel like a few things need to be cleaned up here.

He gets your mind to think about one thing for several questions, then gives you a question that throws you off. Most people correct themselves, but it doesn't matter because they have editing power. For example, my friend was asked like 10 questions about a deck of cards, then was asked how many states are in the USA. She answered, "52," then quickly said, "No! 50!" But it didn't matter, they had their clip.

[–]ProfitMoney 1 point2 points ago

Wow, an even better point. I had no idea they went to those lengths.

The Alligator made me laugh my ass off. Crocodiles are only found in the southern tip of Florida, and Alligators are only in the coastal southern states.

But I will gladly let you think that people are, like, wrestlin' crocs in DC and Boston.

.... I am an American. I've been to 32 out of 50 states. The Grand Canyon is in Arizona ... are you implying that I am implying that the entire country is one big canyon? I'm not sure what your point is.

I had a really long, interesting conversation about America with some Irish college students while in Scotland last year. This is nearly 100% correct, except I think Florida should be added...but those 4, that's all they knew of.

[–]Pinwurm 0 points1 point ago

Had a conversation with an Irishman on a train in Belgium about the same thing.

He didn't know that New York is a state about the size of England, and is 90% farmland, hiking trails, mountains and lakes.

Yep, that's it. I'm from TX, Austin, and no matter where I go, they find that fact fun and ask if we ride horses. They know about SXSW and ACL Fest. Cracks me up, but hey at least they find me familiar and not strange.

In my geography class 9th grade we had to learn the countries of Europe and their capitols, then the rest of the Eastern world throughout the year, and in my 8th grade History/geography class we learned canadian provinces and capitols, us states and capitals and south america countries and capitols. Figured all schools did this, guess not ಠ_ಠ

many Americans view it this way too...

They call the heartland not very smartland

IQ's are very low but threat levels are high

They got a mandate, they don't want man-dates,

they got so many hates and people to despise

In the dust bowl, cerebral black hole,

the average weight is well over 200 pounds

I hate to generalize, but have you seen the thighs,

most haven't seen their genitalia in a while

Maybe that's why they're so pissed at us

They're all jealous we're having better sex

Queers, transgends, and lesbians, vegans and vegetarians

All you brownish red and yellow ones come out and join us on the coast

No longer svelte, they gotta punch new holes in the Bible belt

They've blown out the fire under the melting pot, the red blood of America is starting to clot

No compromise, no sight thru others' eyes,

they're just flies spreading pieces of shit

You gotta emigrate, stop living in hate,

what makes this country great is dwelling on either side

They don't want visitors in Jesusland

They want life bland and canned in the fatherland
