      Now that I'm actually living here, the general American ignorance of even other English-speaking countries is wild. Last week, I met a random couple at a hockey game. The dude mixed up Australia and England and blinked when corrected, and neither knew 'Stepan' was a real name.

      This latter is relevant because one of the players, who they were heckling, was called Stepan, and they just could not fathom his name. I suggested he might be from Germany (I looked it up later; he's Belarusian) because Stepan is a variant of Stephen, and they Did Not Compute.

      The week before that, I got a Lyft with a girl who was stunned to learn that people in other countries drove on the left-hand side of the road. When I confirmed that yes, I was from another country, she replied, "Oh, so you prefer it here, then," - a statement, not a question.

      When I said that I liked different things about the US and about Australia, she was genuinely startled, like it hadn't for one second occurred to her that someone might not prefer the USA. Nothing malicious about it, she just... seemed not to have considered it.

          It's a form of ignorance almost unique to the USA. Somehow people from other countries are more aware that theirs is not the only way of life.

          There are SO MANY USAians who have never left the US and they are so parochial and they don't know it. Living outside the US for 6 months should be compulsory. BTW where are you living?

          Something similar happened to me when I visited New York.

          There is a lot of insularity in the US...and many are disturbingly proud of it....

          It’s like going through US immigration they are astonished that you don’t want to stay and are only visiting!

          Slightly in her defense, as a kid, there's a lot of that sort of indoctrination that happens due to how they teach things in school. At least there was for me. Granted, one should seek out knowledge, but I get how it happens. It's very systemic and starts very young.
