As a South Indian, this geography type questions were the study topics during Lower primary school and it's a bloody shame to the society if we answer it wrong
We used to memorize all the countries of Asia and their locations in 7th standard
For 12th standard, I took European History and I studied all the little countries in the Slavic region, but the average American person doesn't know even every state in America
Just indian
Facts, but we used to study more about Western country's geography, I only focused on Asia after my schooling.
What south India? All Indians are taught this in primary school.
Oh yeah, Myself as a North Indian from Gorakhpur district of UP can confirm it.

And people from Asian nations don't know anything about the Americas. So it's pretty balanced. Most are shocked to learn Canada, Mexico and Brazil are American nations. Then the those four are the only American nations they know. Also yes SEA is where the Asian race is from, so about 45% of Americans see South East Asia as being just "Asia".

Honestly it really makes me sad that here in America we don’t learn about these sorts of things very much in school, and therefore just not much in general. Personally, I’ve recently started to take an interest in geography and I think it’s genuinely really interesting and also interesting to kind of look a little into the stories of countries and know a little about each of them
You do learn these things in school lol.
School does suck in the US but don’t blame the ignorance on school. Anyone can learn geography on their own without relying on school to teach it to them. Typical excuse Americans use to justify their lack of knowledge
In America, feminist and woke ideology are more important than geography, eg. 'I'm voting for Kamala because she is a woman and black.' Ha ha ha ha. (Actually, she is Tamil culture with a Tamil (Indian) name.

I think they are actually really good. I was an exchange student in Texas from Japan for a year and enjoyed living in there too much and by the time I had to leave I almost had forgotten everything about Japan. But I also remember meeting with a lot of retired US military people and they all had very detailed knowledge about Asian geography and culture, they were very intellectual people with a lot of respect to things outside America.
According to Americans, there are only 16 countries in the world:
USA
UK
Scandinavia
Russia

uwu you are probably just as dumb as there people in that video. I believe 57% of Indian jobs are in Industrial or Services and 43% is agriculture. For the US it is 80% services, 19% Industrial and 1% Agricultural. China is 48% service, 27% Industrial and 26% Agricultural. Netherlands is 81% service and ect. Not all Indians are rice farmers and secondly sugar cane is the largest produced foods 33% rice is 15%

@Only Solo well, I guess I still do have a long way to go since I'm 14, but my history and CLVE teachers are teaching a lot of geographical stuff more ever since school started, and I only now realised that Egypt is technically part of Africa. Just like what the other guy explained at the previous comment.

@Only Solo well that's cool, I guess I learnt my lesson for being ignorant. Still, there are other Americans who aren't aware of the continent and country differences despite having better education than most other countries, but that can be passed on since their history is taught more often than geography.

- Where is South Korea ?
**Points at India**
Annyeonghaseyo Im Korean now🌚🍂
I’m American. And I lost my last BRAINCELL WHEN ONLY 1 PERSON KNEW. AND HOW ONLY 2 PEOPLE FOUND INDIA
@@SamuelSamuelSamuel1 india has one of the most easiest location to find ...but they 🙂🙂🙂
& Pakistan is north Korea lol
Me being an Indian myself don't consider india to be the first nation to come into my mind when I think about Asia, the subcontinent is too strange to be asian
@@mr.rathour6454 but the irony tho💀💀
Sometimes I look at Westerners so much in awe and wonder how did these people colonized some of the countries in Asia.
I told my doctor about the every Asian parents ever
And she was like “well you’re not Asian”
I’m Indian 🤦♀️
Same.
Big brain time
She needs some Google maps
Insfires21kookie yeah indians are not asians
HS2019WuzGud , India is in Asia tho lol.
I’m willing to bet even American kpop fans don’t actually know where South Korea is
I agree. Kpop fans are only interested in Kpop, not interested in country itself, culture, its people at all.
@@tachinrikka2322 They're not interested even in there social lives, or literally anything in general...
my non-asian kpop friends seem to think south korea is the only asian country 😔
Not even close to true.
agreed. k pop fans are mostly hormonal stupid teenagers, so yea
According to the Americans, there are just 4 countries in ASIA
JAPAN
CHINA
KOREA
ASIA
💯💯💯
Like Avatar
You forgot bob country
@FMX In india there are both white and black people
Yes i agree with you
As an asian, I actually impressed that they could locate my country. Well done.
No one mentioning that a couple of these guys did really well, and that the one kid just sniped them all
Yeah , that kid with the cap was really good , must be a geography student
@@babu_moshai Or someone with a brain
Yeah that kid did very well
@@nadko9910 if you actually used your brain that kid is still in school so his knowledge of geography is still fresh while the adults aren't. If someone was a doctor here why would they need to know where Kazahstan is on the map. It serves no benefits
@@oomphdooph knowledge is beneficial regardless what is your profession. Knowledge also makes you different from the other people who dont have one.
"i love chinese food!"
**can't locate where china is**
but they can locate the Chinese restaurant down the block!
@@davey9090 fair enough for living a life
So to eat someone's food you need to know to locate the country? Shitty logic, those aren't even related
@@ranmeh9936
"i love Chinese food!"
**points to africa**
@@scummywizard3561 yeah everyone should learn geography but your comment was pretty stupid. In order like a certain kind of food, you need to know everything about it?
It's not just Asia that Americans are ignorant about. Some of them think that Europe and Africa are countries rather than continents.
Did one of the people really just say “that doesn’t even sound Asian” 😃🤚
@Krackanowsky 👁👄👁
it's just like to remove Central Asia countries (5 countries and all end with "stan")
and how countries even should sound?
Even Kazakhstan border is connected to China..
To be fair, it doesn't: Kazakhstan.
@@thegreenranger9524 All the Stans are in Asia though. Name one country in Europe or Africa with the name Stan at the end. (Azerbaijan doesn't count there's no st).
this video makes me feel extremely intelligent
😂
Same lol
I feel more confident that I have enough knowledge about geography
"This is America"
Some American asked me why all Koreans dye their hair black.🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦
Very funny
An average Asian person would'nt be able to locate the UK or the U.S. either they're purposefully kept unaware of other nations thanks to their nationalist dictator 🙄🇰🇵🇭🇰🇨🇳 or they just dont care about countries on the other side of the world.
@@caelin4174 you say "their dictator"??? like as if all of asia was a dictatorship? oh my, for you asia is only china and north korea???? (also hong kong is not a dictatorship)
@@caelin4174 Then why are citizens so stupid when America is a democratic country? Look at Karens during 2020. 🤔
@@caelin4174 Please stop putting this comment everywhere, I'm Asian and I can locate over 80 countries, I'm in 6th grade. Asia doesn't have only China, Japan and Korea, Asia contains more than 45 countries.
US is a huge country. if it were 50 countries instead of 50 states, i doubt random asians would do any better.
"Where's India?"
*Points to Indonesia*
Close enough

@@viz4884 mehh france and spain? same thing same thing
Im Filipino but when I was in 1st year of high-school I became confused about India and Indonesia and I thought its the same country
"Khazakhstan"
"ThAT dOeSNt eVEn sOUnd aSIan"
🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
From what I heard, didn't the USSR pull the entire country out of it's ass when it tell apart?
@honey bread I know that. What I mean is, Kazakhastan didn't exist until the USSR fell apart.
Kazakhstan is between Afghanistan, Pakistan
It did, but called the "Kazakh khandygy". The country has a really ancient history and existed way longer than the US did. Gosh do not say anything if you do not know the history of the country, you're just embarrassing yourself🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
@@eunicemugisha4441 it is between Russia, Mongolia, China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan
So American high schools are what I exactly thought: hookups, drunk parties and teen pregnancies
I am thinking the same right now.
don’t forget drugs
But when it comes to immigrants they want the topmost elites who are living encyclopaedia.
I like to call them kindergardens for teenagers, because that's what they are like over there.
I’m starting to thing that McDonald’s are the American schools
I really want someone to offer me an interview so I can break the stereotype 😂

@@somerandommen Asian Americans *exist*
@@rainex8283 Man you lack a brain. Yes, they do. But we're talking about the opinions of people born in Asia. Those people born in America will have an American outlook usually.

What do you know about Cambodia?
Them: Genocide
Me: sad cambodian noise :((((((
I think that it is an important part of general knowledge about Cambodia. Unfortunately.
its kmer genozid, not cambonia....you can be a cute anime girl in hetalia.....im sure or it
Thy E
Then they know well
the only 3 things i know about Cambodia when i was a kid:
genocide, communism, angkor wat.
@@edison7300037 to be honest, Cambodia is a typical weak southasian nation with polit. Decisions between US-backed military, instable "democraty"/"royality" and communism. every election is a fight between the religious, monarchic, the US supported and the vietnam communistic party. every election is followed by rebelish actions against the fraud victory by the loser.
the economical situation is not really different by the political influence and rise, because the anti-communistic trade embargos were droped since ~1995. the difference is the distributation of money. the monarchic faction would give more money to sacral buildings and temples, the democraties to economical trade areas/some few cities and the communists have a similar position like the democrats, but have traditional support in rural areas. the farmers in cambodia are communistic, poor and need help and at least some support is given by the communists in a show to get this support.
it is similar to italian communistic party after WW2, who was extremly for poor farmers and against conservative land owners and the church. i would suspect, that the vietnam communists killed some rebels/oposition too, but their claim to do it to prevent a second civilwar is not just a lie and their party is basicly the only garanty for at least some social support in the rural area with nearly 60% of the population in these areas. other parties dont care about these regions. every street, hospital, kindergarden, bridge and school in these areas were build by communists. i think some americans should watch the old italian show "don camillo and pepone". communism is like christianity not allways bad. some populations should use it. it is more reasonable, explicit as a poor farmer in a small state.
“Where’s Singapore” damn their never gonna get that one.
I mean, it’s tiny
Someone said Kazakhstan doesnt sound like Asian 🤦♀️
Yah, United States of America doesn't sound American to me so give him/her a break if Kazakhstan doesn't sound Asian to the person (sarcastic voice).
The closest they're gonna get is Malaysia but it's so underrated (I'm from Malaysia)
@@Zeynep-ml6ly Kazakhstan is Asian but it sounds more Eurasian because of Russian influence and language
sorry cant watch the video . i refuse to watch the violent ads before the video

“UNIFIED COUNTRY”
True
Idek what American culture is lmao. Europeans literally influenced America so much and then all the other countries just started to slowly mix their way in
@@surbix1356 America doesn't have any culture to be honest. Its just few acquired things from here and there.
Naw. Its true of average people of every country. They don't care about what goes on elsewhere they are worrying about their own lives and survival.
2:38-3:14
Emotional damage
Me watching western people not knowing where South Korea is as a KOREAN
Also feeling betrayed that they found Japan so easily...
Sometimes I ask myself questions like:
Do americans know that Egypt is in Africa?
Do americans know that Pakistan is in Asia?
Where do americans think Australia is located?
Do americans know that english is an european language?
People laugh at this, but it's too sad, I am genuinely worried about this.
P.s.: not every American is like this!
@@tuba2987 I wrote "Pakistan is in Asia"
Oh man, imagine if this guy instead interviewed these people on Africa or the Pacific, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
Most Americans don't even know that Africa is a continent. They think it's a country 🤷🏻♀️
@@tuba2987 read the question, hes asking if americans know that pakistan is in asia or no
Considering the amount of stuff ive heard of people making stupid discussions about if Ancient Egypt was "white" or not i wouldnt be surprised if some didnt know it was in Africa
Like only black, sub-saharan Africans are "true africans" and north/saharan africans dont exist (even if they are heavily arabized what's the point?? nobody refers to all white americans as "europeans" even though you could say that because of colonization)
Forget about the curriculum, you should at least know where China and India are. They are big countries, not some islands.
They should know where Japan is too
Yes, and China and India(and Japan) are important countries as well.
@Rits Kumar.. 1st learn all d States of india
They should know a diverse range of Asian countries from the north, east, south & west.
Seems like most people know where China and japan is but have no clue with the other nations
5:20 “Kazakhstan’s that big!”
“It’s almost the size of the US!”
🤦♂️
TidePod3 Fortnite & Funko Pops LOLAnd yet they thought India was tiny...
they’re dumb af and know nothing
I bet my life that was the first time they heard about Kazakhstan
True, it is big , but not even a quater of the US size
I literally rolled my eyes at that
People who study google maps: this is easy
I use my old school atlas book. So many colored maps on thick paper.
“South Korea is south of North Korea”
Sometimes my genius is, it’s almost frightening
no, south korea is north of north korea 😡
They’ll probably be confused when they start learning about upper and lower Egypt in class
why do you talk much
when you know so little xd
“That doesn’t even sound Asian”
God that made me angry
Technically shes correct because the name was chosen by East Europeans from Turkey that migrated to Kazakhstan.
That made my blood boil
