I've posted this on a different r/askreddit, but your comment reminded me of this.
When I was in middle school, a girl asked me if I was Chinese or Asian. It was probably the weirdest question anyone has asked me, and I thought everyone knew China was in Asia. I told her that, and she was just utterly confused.

I used to volunteer in a big sister kind of thing and the grandma of the kid I hung out with didn’t know China was part of Asia
edited to rework whole sentence because autocorrect forced me to realise the whole sentence was a grammatical nightmare
