See for yourself.

Replies WhiteDwarf Posted at 9:07 pm on Sep. 11, 2008 Does the rest of the world really think we're that stupid? lol That's almost more amusing than the answers in that video. I can't really think of anyone I've met THAT dumb, and I've met quite a few. There's a lot of us that don't have the sharpest geography skills, but nothing to that degree. To be honest, I've encountered geographical ignorance in probably equal levels in America and Europe, but who knows if that accurately reflects the majority. The only reason you would get "bombarded" for this would be because these stereotypes have been reiterated countless times on LW, I've seen this video posted at least a couple times for example, and it gets to the point of where condescension gets old, especially since as a nation we're quite self-conscious. But for the most part, we make fun of ourselves as much as any lefty EU country.

You are from America afterall.  I don't care. America is fun to make fun of. It just goes with being a highly nationalistic nation who is so full of themselves that they'd rather spew nonsense than seem like a fool in turn makes them seem foolish. Mom: "Who ate the cookies?" Son: "Not me!" Mom: "Why are there chocolate smears on your face?" Son: "My brother must have put them there!" Mom: "But your brother is at school!" Son: "He must have done it before school while I was asleep!" Mom: "Oh, okay then." Oh kid, you just look like a fool. That made me chuckle. The kids smarter than the parent.
