I am a Black American living in Canada. Not only do I know Canadian geography, but can name most of the world countries and cities, yet have never visited them, but I made a point of knowing them. IF I can do it, I am sure there are a lot of other Americans that can too. I like the above comments about Americans not caring. That part is very true, thus has nothing to do with stupidity. I bet those who of you from European Countries can't tell how many cities in the US are named Springfield and are the capital of their respective states without going to Google. Do you care how many American cities are named Springfield? I don't think so. So be very careful when you live in a glass house. I might throw a rock through it.
