>be american
>everyone automatically assumes I'm an idiot
I met this girl in college who had an accent, so I asked her where she was from and she told me Lebanon and proceeded to tell me what geographic area Lebanon is in as if I didn't already know where it was. Why?
Where does this geography meme come from? Just like everyone else, I can name every country that's not in sub-saharan africa
Most Americans don't even know where America is senpai
Lebanon isn't a country though. She just pulled a prank on you.
>says the sinking country that will disappear in 20 years
You tiny headed Brazilians won't be around to experience it.
except that's bullshit. Americans don't know geography for shit, because they don't give a fuck.
That's Japanese Jean Valjean
It's not a meme
>implying the dutch wont evolve and grow even taller
Okay, where's Vanuatu?
Well, thats your century america, you know? They will always make stereotypes and jokes about the powerful. Around 2000 - 2006 no one gave a shit about my country and now everyone is suddenly an expert about Germany. Fuck the haters
They actually just came out with the new tallest countries ranks and interviewed a Dutch expert about it on BBC.
While Dutch men are still the tallest, Latvian women are now taller than Dutch women and the men are only barely behind Dutch men.
He believes Dutch height has nearly reached its zenith at what he considers the maximum average height for a nation. Soon many other nations will start to catch up in his opinion.
>Where does this geography meme come from?
Because it's true. Once, I had to explain to some grown ass man the difference between a country and a continent.
m8 i thought canada was a state until i was 14. There is nothing to be ashamed about. We are not cucks and don't care about irrelevent countries here in the USA.
What else could he have said?
"Sorry guys, you all will stay manlets forever. In 2030 you will all be perfect dick sucking height."
>There is nothing to be ashamed about.
being born in america desu
it cometh hence.
you should be flattered she assumed you're not a nerd virgin who posts on the international section of an bishi animes forum
She's probably just aware of how irrelevant her country is and just assumes no one has any idea it even exists
they'd might as well be at this point
If I were an Arab I would just tell people I'm French. It's 2016 and it's basically the truth.
>mfw every mexican and african can claim to be american.
>everybody in the world is American, just come on in we don't have borders

This is true. Having experienced education in Ireland, Canada and the US they're almost the same, and the US/Canada is identical. Rather than being stupid (impossible for any wealthy country, intelligence is required for complex economies and dominance), it's arrogance of being an Empire Many countries have inferiority complexes, and some like the US have superiority complexes. Both are messed up things, inferiority complexes result in a feeling of being wronged, needing to prove yourself to the power establishment, and an obsession with power. Superiority complexes result in narcissism, a belief that power is something you've always deserved, a disdain for the weak, intentionally mocking/ignoring weaker powers.
The US is going through the same phase other world-leaders went through. In Ancient Greece they thought they were the pinnacle of the world, the term "Barbarian" meant foreigner, a mockery of the language of non-Greeks. They had this same superiority complex and disdain for the foreign and weak.
Then Rome starts taking over. According to a nice set of writings, as Greece was in decline it developed an inferiority complex of sorts to Rome. Rome was based heavily on Western Hellenic colonial culture especially in the south in Magna Graecia. The upper classes of Rome spoke Greek, their gods were taken from them. The fading Greeks decried the Romans as uncultured (yes, sound familiar?) because their culture was not exotic to them, brash, bastardizing Greek culture. The Romans were fond of loud parades, arrogance, global bullying, and had "usurped" the Zeus-given inherent superiority of Greeks to rule over humans.
In a funny way, "we" look back at Rome as a sort of cultured pinnacle of European civilization, with all the arches, columns, myths, emperors and colliseums. What was once new, crude and bastardized to the old Greeks is now ancient and classy in retrospect.
Britain went through a similar bout of ignorance and arrogance at its peak.
>he doesn't know where Lebanon is
>There is nothing to be ashamed about.
wew lad
ignorance is not something to be proud m8 of especially when we live it this so called information age.
why should we learn geography? it is literally no benefit to us. we are the kings of the world.
You suck, Americans naivete and lack of knowledge on European geography is endearing

The average american doesn't know geography. When Obama visited Argentina he said that their language skills were pretty bad, and they don't know much about the outside world.
lol
History repeats itself right? It's obvioulsy a little bit more complex than that but you got the gist of it
I thought that Alexander the Great was Russian for a long time. Mainly because I never really researched him and only heard the name.

>implying education in Ireland is good
>implying Canada isnt just snowy USA
well the only part of the world that matters at any rate
