Cool Czech – I recognised the quote, but so what? You are proud of your ignorance about our country. Fine.
By the way, America only faught in WW2 when war was declared on it. It faught for its own interests, and not, as is smugly, self-righteously claimed, to save Europe. It suffered nothing like what London did in the Blitz. Most Americans posting here were not born then, but like nothing better than to play the keyboard warrior and bang on about how tough they are.
It’s very tiresome and rather pathetic.

The so-what, Mary Jane, was to point out to you that Americans HARDLY have a lock on ignorance of other countries: certainly the Brits haven’t distinguished themselves on that score in the past.
Indeed, as an immigrant married to an immigrant from Korea, with relatives in France and Uzbekistan, I can assure you that by and large Americans are some of the most open-minded, tolerant, and eager-to-learn about other cultures people on Earth.
Just a little TRULY international perspective to share with you…
