Americans Asked To Name a City in Africa, Goes Exactly How You Expect It To

[Braman]

It's sad. Accra, Lagos, Mogadishu, Mombasa, Nairobi, Cairo, Aswan, Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Addis Abbaba. Mad easy.

Africa is irrelevant on the world stage nobody cares to learn about it especially in America

Ok, Mr.KingZaire

Foh

asking people to name a city is Africa is a pretty weird question. When you start with a continent most people are going to naturally filter down to countries. If you said name a city in Asia most people will blurt out Japan or something.


They'd still fail to think of a city regardless of how you ask, but still.

This. Dumb questions will always net dumb replies.

Breh what? If someone asked me to name a city, I’d name a city not a country.

I don’t even understand how it’s a difficult question.

dumbass girl at the end couldnt reconcile if Cape Town was a city or a country

Africa's presence on the world stage is irrelevant a lot of Americans just don't know a lot about other countries outside of tourist destinations.Them people would be struggling to name a city in China. If you told them Osaka was in China, they'd believe you.

Mogadishu is well known is the only place to have multiple Hollywood movies based on it.

most states don't have geography as a required k-12 course, that's how you end up with shyt like ppl thinking iran is an american state

10% of americans can't even find america on a map

If Americans Can Find North Korea on a Map, They’re More Likely to Prefer Diplomacy (Published 2017)

Most Americans could not identify the country in a survey, and those people tended to view military action more favorably.

Let be honest. Americans really don't learn about America in school.

i'm gonna do you one better

not everything has to be taught. true knowledge is sought

it's wild lazy to still be saying "i didn't learn this in school" in the post internet world about the world...
