Do you think its okay and normal to not know your basic geography and make stereo typical jokes?

I think so many people are really dumb because they don't know the difference between japan, china, philipines, & more... Not all asians are chinese.
And i hate it when people joke and say dont eat my dog.
Im JAPANESE! Not Chinese! We dont eat dogs.
or people assume im a freak because im half japanese like what?

And btw, not all asians Speak Chinese. Thank you.

    Nah, of course it's not okay. Some people are really ignorant about countries other than their own. This kind of stuff is always in the newspaper. 65% of Brits don't know how many countries make up Britain (although I'd argue with the answer I saw). 10% of us think Mount Everest is our highest mountain.

    You think this kind of stuff is made up until you ask your friends. My friend, who I consider of above average intelligence, didn't know the capital of Greece. It's a country on the same continent as us and a massively popular holiday destination. I mean, it's not like I asked him the capital of Dagestan (which I wouldn't know either if I wasn't a capitals freak). When I asked him why he didn't know, he said he didn't need to. Sadly, he probably doesn't.

      Why sadly?

      I totally agree with you, ignorance is ubiquitous and I know plenty of people who would pull a vacant expression and shrug their shoulders if asked anything about the non-English speaking world.

      But it's sometimes unfair to expect people to give the same value to certain information as you do. I wouldn't mind if somebody in Greece didn't know London was the capital of England, or indeed anything about us Brits. It'd be surprising that they hadn't at any point stumbled upon that information, but such knowledge isn't essential to a lot of people and the absence of it has so little impact upon their lives to render it pretty trivial.

      Some people just aren't as intellectually curious as others, and I think we have to respect that. I'm not saying we should allow offensive, incorrect stereotypes to circulate unhindered, but I am saying we should cut some people some slack when they happen not to know details about other countries or societies (as long as they aren't being intentionally insulting).

        I was thinking about it from a "rest of the world" perspective. Britain and America (and Mexico, for some reason) score really very lowly on their knowledge of the rest of the world and the rest of the world looks down on us for it. It's not a global trait and I do think it's sad that we're more ignorant than most. What I meant by "sadly" is that it doesn't seem to matter and our ignorance isn't majorly to our disadvantage, meaning it's liable to continue and perhaps even spread.

          Hm I haven't read any survey indicating that the UK and the US are exceptionally ignorant regarding the rest of the world when compared to the rest of the world. Did some organisation do a global survey? Do you have a link for me to peruse? :)

          If you're right it's probably something we need to address in our educational institutions and in the media.

          I always used to watch Google Current (television channel) because it had some great reports about other countries, but they stopped televising it :/ Vice has some cool documentaries about various places across the world as well. The sad thing is it seems for the most part the rest of the world is only ever in the news or on television when it's about something depressing like famine, economic crisis, war etc. and our national education seems to focus very much on ourselves.

            I was thinking in particular of the surveys National Geographic do. I know we don't really get that here and I have to admit I was only aware of it because of an article in an English newspaper. I think the Roper survey of 2002 was the one many people reference. I looked for it before writing my reply to you and the website it was on had disappeared. The preamble is here, though:

            http://news.nationalgeographic.co.uk/news/2002/11/1120_021120_GeoRoperSurvey.html

            This was the bit that initially scared me when I first read it:

            About 11 percent of young citizens of the U.S. couldn't even locate the U.S. on a map. The Pacific Ocean's location was a mystery to 29 percent; Japan, to 58 percent; France, to 65 percent; and the United Kingdom, to 69 percent.

            The figure that really sticks in my head was that people all over the world were tested and the U.S. ended up 117th in a league table of 190-odd countries (and we weren't much higher). That would be a bad result in general but it's compounded by the fact that the ten best universities in the world are generally ALL in America and Britain each year (usually seven for them, three for us). They're a world superpower, we're an ex-superpower. What on earth are we doing education-wise?

              Found the survey questions but still can't track down detailed results.

              http://www.nationalgeographic.com/geosurvey/tem...

              Actually, I've just noticed that if you take the survey, it gives you the percentage of correct answers by the nine countries featured in this part of the test. Scary that the first question is about the US and the least informed about US population were people from the US. The population ranges were *very* generous too.

    I'm starting to think that I've missed out on a huge chunk of the social populace, because the only people that I know that don't know the difference between China and Japan are stupid fucking rednecks that bitch about prayer in schools and about lazy, welfare loving Democrats that don't know the meaning of hard work or Christ like values as they stand there, pregnant with their current boyfriend's baby digging out their EBT card at the checkstand with a cart full of hot pockets and beer and one or two small children at their legs. Also, thug gangsters that look at success in terms of rap sheet length and illegal firearm ownership and small children.

    I don't really know very many of those. It's a personal choice.

    Personally I suck at geography, but i think its important you consider not everyone has had the same experiences, such as a person who has never lived in a diverse area. Yes it is ignorant, but you are going to have to deal with people like that the rest of your life. I say you try to help them understand or just ignore it and move on. If you were talking about identifying people's backgrounds based on looks you could look into the Cross-Race-Effect.

    I probably should know more about geography. It's by far my worst subject. I know the basic stuff but that's about it.

    Most of the time when I would make a stereotypical joke, it's just to poke fun at the stereotype. One example was a black friend and I were eating and I happened to be eating fried chicken and some watermelon while he was eating a burger and fries. It seemed too ironic to pass up.

    Yes, it's normal. I've probably made jokes that are completely stupid, a lot of people have. What you've wrote about is something I'd personally try to avoid doing. It happens to people from every country, by people from pretty much every country, though. It doesn't bother me too much, although if it can be pretty annoying at times. Ignorance isn't great. Although, speaking of saying stupid things and ignorance, I once said something on the site well over a year ago about ignorant people, which was actually very stupid.:P It didn't even make sense to me, reading it a year later:S.

    No, I don't think it's yoi (Japanese for nice) and normal for a person from 日本国 Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku to be using a confusing word of uncertain origin (Choctaw, Mande or Bantu), instead of 'nice'.
    From which tribe(s) are you descended from? Azumi people, Fusang, Hayato people, Koshibito,
    Kumabito, Kumasi, Mishihase,
    Saeki people.
    Perhaps, even the Jōmon-jin people (modern Ainu people) on Hokkaidō.

    Oh man. If I was Japanese I would hate that to. The main reason I think for that is; In America and North America, we have way more Chinese restaurants apposed Japanese. So when we see someone who is Asian, the 1st thing that comes to mind is Chinese... It's idiotic I know. If it makes you feel any better, there's a Japanese restaurant a ways away from my place I absolutely adore. It's owned by a Japanese couple who make the BEST curry. My point being.. we're not all ignorant lol I know it's Japanese, and not Chinese. :P

      And tastes pretty ferking alright. Is what you know. Mind you some of the food where I work could only be described as 'blood, guts and garden trimming'. Some dishes I won't eat again; soup made from the last part of the bovine bowel which is actually acidic bile flavored buffalo Shit, fish shit sauce (the worst by far), after-birth of cow soup, ant lavae salad. Ok, its all pretty ferking disgusting, pig guts, chicken heads, insects and grasshopper but ferk me drunk, they love it).

          Laos, Myanmar and Northern Thailand.
          Thai food is fantastic, however some of the food up in the sticks, good for losing weight because it is blood guts and garden trimming or nothing. The day I ate after-birth soup, I woofed it down, I would have eaten the snatch from a low flying duck I was that hungry.
          If it was more than 10% cooked it wouldn't be so bad. I've eaten raw buffalo, chicken, squirrel, goat and every other creature not evolved enough to escape man. 3 months ago in Laos I was invited to a BBQ to celebrate a special occasion and a goat had been purchased, which I was excited about. But after a few bottles of hot beer Lao, I asked them where was the Barbie and I would help them cook. They were waiting for me to kick off the show as the white guy guest of honour. My mate disappeared, came back with a goat and killed it then and there, drained the blood into a bowel and cut off chunks of quivering meet through into the fire for 30 sec, then handed pieces. The blood was mixed with herbs and chili into a sauce not cooked. Guts were cleaned and cooked. Fine dining that night - not.

          Didn't read any downsizing.

          The grasshoppers aren't too bad.They were also a staple in the Australian stockman drover and American cowboy diet in the old days, cooked up with treackle as a campfire desert.
          Chicken heads as ok but I have broken teeth on buffalo skin beer snacks, nice but chewy.

          Lol what he said is definately not what we eat daily lmao,
          On a daily basis,
          Breaktfast:
          Toast,butter juice eggs, or grilled fish, rice, miso soup

          Lunch:
          Rice, and fried chicken, pork, salad, spaghetti, w.e

          Personally I only like raw fish and not cooked so I believe I might like certain Japanese dishes. I also like raw mashed beef.

              No because japanese meat policys are SUPER strict, so the meat has to be extremely clean, plus the fishes for sushi is mostly grown at a fish farm.

    The jokes are stereotypical, it's not like they belong to the type of the stereo.

    Also, your title is bullshit.

      LF, The title is quite clever. It got us all in yet another bullshit race debate. I'm all for debating the race of women whom have best mastered the art of pleasure, but I'd prefer to spend my time in research. CYa

      Your joke is out of place and stereotypical, affirming what Naochyan is saying.
      The Shih Tzu (Pronounced shirr-tsə in Mandarin) is from China. Different language, different people, different cultures.
      Look up 'East China Sea' (between China and [part of] the Japanese archipelago).

        Huh, Shirley you can't be serious. To be frank, It used to be one of my kids favourite jokes, about a fucking dog and a zoo. I too was born with a GPS and know some history and actually work in China and live in Se Asia. What is it with peoples turning everything including a child's joke into race debate. Read the rest of the book before you go off educating the masses with half baked assumptions. Got to run, Iron Chef is on, very exciting, they're cooking dog.
