I actually have no idea but I'm guilty of spreading the stereotype.
Don and me had a little brawl a few weeks back before the thread was closed.
I thought it was funny to post the often reported (American to European) question "Did you come here by car?".
This was told to me by several Germans who'd experienced it first hand.
Well all I can say is that it's hardly representative and of course absurd to generalize it.
We have a lot of ignorant and uneducated people in Germany as well and you can meet them almost
anywhere. Doesn't matter if at University, at work or in your free time.
I imagine it's the same in the US as well as other European countries.
What most often draws my attention is the ignorance of other countries
existing on our globe. It's my impression that most people only ever realize
their existance when they appear in the news. This is sad no matter where it occurs.
