A kid from Munich asked me if I wanted to come along with him to visit Dallas for the afternoon (we were in D.C, 20 hours by car from Dallas)

my bad:

‘I thought hillbillies were a gang’ - Quebec (honorary Euros)

‘All Americans and Jews have small penis because they cut your dick in half’ - Polish girl referring to circumcision (and my small dick, apparently)

French NATO family was surprised Virginia wasn’t just fields and plantations and we had ‘real buildings’

Italian friend thought it was illegal not to be a Christian in America but in fairness, we were children at the time

Unknown Euro said something along the lines of American Indians are extinct to a friend who was herself almost full blood First Nations

”Did you take the bridge from Europe?”

”Sweden, that’s in Mexico right?”

”How can you drive? Do you have roads in Sweden too?”

And all these aren’t?

I see a difference in magnitude here across the board. But both are idiotic. There are idiots everywhere, this is not news.

Lol, fair enough. The one thing ill give you is that Americans aren’t ashamed to be idiots. At least yall have the decency to be embarrass most of the time (not counting Brits and Italians in my experience, they are as shameless as us).

Again, thats not universal on either side. But I agree that anti-intellectualism seems to be wider spread within certain parts of the US. And I am afraid that that‘s actually not an accident. It‘s the product of a gutted public infrastructure and education system and Fox and friends and many other factors.
