### Comment:
Yea that sounds like bullshit. I mean it is definitely possible that rural Chinese can have pretty ignorant ideas about America just like racist southerners have about Southeast Asia.

### REPLY:
It's not just racist southerners, and it's not just Southeast Asia. I once asked my brother (who has left New England like five times in his life) if he knew what continent South Africa was on, and his first guess was 'South America'.
