Most American's wouldn't know where Australia was on a map, amirite?

Some maybe, but most? You were brought up ALL wrong.

I would have given you New Zealand, but Australia? Everyone knows that. It's a giant fucking island. A guy who's never seen a map before can find Australia on a map.

This is a stupid steryotype. Maybe some inner city/southerners might not know, but the vast majority of Americans aren't much worse at geography then the average Canadian or European. I know where Andorra is, do you?

someone complaining of a stereotype quick to use a stereotype....

I'd wager that a good deal of "American's" know when the use of an apostrophe is appropriate as well.

Well, that's not insulting at all. Some Americans might not have taken Geography and are admittedly stupid. But a lot of America is smart.

haha. I love how people think all Americans are morons. Listen, I happen to be American, and I not only know where Australia is, but I LOVE AUSTRALIA! Go Aussies! Yeah, and this might shock you, but I am not overweight, I don't eat McDonalds crap, and I exercise regularly.

Never thought that to begin with. I don't beleive in stereotyping, American or otherwise. I can't stand my own countrys (Australia) stereotypes. Although, some, not all, Americans do say some stuid things about the stereotyping of Australia. I have been there and people said things like, " Wow, your english is good!" ect. Still, not all Americans.

I bet the 74 who voted "Yeah you are" did it sarcastically or aren't from America and believe in the stereotype. Or they're just really stupid.

I love how whenever someone posts something making fun of Americans, they do it anonymously.

I am American, and I do know where Australia is. I have also been there, and I loved it. Every American I know knows where Australia is.

You failed to mention this: which country has more poisonous animals, including the platypus (yes it is, look it up) and the VERY deadly box jellyfish? Of course, I still think the land is gorgeous!

Australia surpassed America as the fattest country.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

@199903 (misterme34): Look it up, that is a big fat lie - no pun intended. Actually, American is still first... not Australia, this is not an accusiation, just a fact. You have a bigger populaton, sorry, your still number one.

OP, you shouldn't have said Australia, you should have said Armenia, Slovakia or "Most American sdon't know Georgia is also the name of a country".

This post is probably a result of all those videos filmed in they 80's that they show Australian and New Zealand kids. The videos show Americans on the street being given a map and asked to point out Australia, and the people point to Africa or some random country. Admittedly it was at a time before the proliferation of the internet, mass media coverage, and the 2000 Olympics.

HEY, MAN! (or WOMAN) I want you to know that we learned that in like 2nd grade, maybe 3rd, and then for some people again in 7th (just to make sure we know) so...there.

Most Americans would know that unless it's possessive, you don't put an apostrophe in "Americans."

by Anonymous 13 years ago

uhhh, half-australian here. I have a vague idea of where it is, considering it's my father's home. and I have been there twice. It doesn't hurt that on most maps, continents and things of that nature are labeled
