@@CaptainAmerica001 Cool. I can name all nations on a certain continent depending on which one you ask. For both Americas and Oceania, I can name them all nearly no problem.. But for Europe.. It's better to split into regions, like the Northern, Balkans, Western, Baltics, etc. And for Asia, splitting it into regions and subcontinents too is the best idea. I don't wanna call Uzbekistan twice lol For Africa.... I can't. I need a visual.
Bruh they are college level students, what do you expect? If they couldn't have answered that it would have been utterly disappointing. Rather ask them to locate them on the map.
@@CaptainAmerica001 they are american because they're from the anerica continent. but you never hear Justin bieber, the "american " singer but Justin bieber the "canadian" singer
Seeing this made me feel smart since when I was in 8th grade, a teacher of mine asked the whole class to give her at least 40 COUNTRIES from all 7 continents. Watching this has made remember how much I loved and appreciate that certain teacher.
As an American, this makes me happy. Every time I see an American answering geography questions, they’d look stupid. I am also a geography nerd. Thank you!!
It's easy to name five countries in Africa. I will name Egypt; Clark Kent, I will name the Congo; Betty Davis, I will name South Africa; Einstein, I will name Nigeria; Mahatma Gandhi, And I will name Zimbabwe; Neil Armstrong. There I did just exactly what he said, I named five countries in Africa. Naming countries is so much easier than remembering what their names already are.
You should've said outside of Europe and North America😂 and I guess you were on campus or anything like that So it isn't very unlikely that no one can say ,they were college students
College students are considered legal adults in nearly every country in the world.. And if today's adults can't even name a country besides the U.S. , Canada, Mexico, etc, This should be a matter of concern. Do they plan to just live in North America their whole life, never go traveling elsewhere ? I think not.

Aggies saved the day! Restored my faith in American education. What about all the other vox pop surveys like Jay Leno or Jimmy Kimmel, though? Why such a huge discrepancy? Looks like two different countries! 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🇬🇧

You're absolutely right Don, however, there have been so many videos put out there that college students are unable to answer the same exact questions.
We people from other countries other than USA learn about the world & our neighbors. The US doesnt seem teach its people about the world & its people. Im not American but i live in one of its territories & even here in our schools its sad. Our textbooks is basically just about the US & how the world wants to be like the US.
That's why América is not a country or nation. Furthermore, 'American' isn't a nationality or citizenship. Ask yourself why does the United States of América call itself a Continent, AMÉRICA. Is the issue continental models? Or people thinking/calling/believing América is a country & American a nationality? When, why, how did AMÉRICA become 2?
To be fair, everyone of at least school age from every country should be able to name at least 20-30 countries outside their own continent. And their capital cities. You learn it in primary school. To name 5 doesn't really debunk anything...
*U.S. Citizens! América is not a country or a nation. Therefore, 'American' isn't a nationality, citizenship, or a term exclusively for the U.S.A.!

é engraçado que o vídeo foi feito pra acabar com o estereótipo que criaram sobre estadunidenses não serem bons em geografia mas ele foi numa faculdade, o que não mostra a realidade de todo o país, assim como os vídeos de onde tiraram que estadunidenses são ruins em geografia também não servem pra isso, porque também foram feitos com pequenos grupos de pessoas, eu particularmente nunca acreditei que TODO estadunidense é ruim em geografia, mas acho que uma maioria não sabe citar nem 5 países da américa sem quebrar a cabeça tentando entender que América é um continente e não um país

Actually you're wrong. Geography isn't just about knowing countries in certain continents, but also where they're located in the continent, the countries they border, the population, etc. So if you asked them to point out the countries they just said they wouldn't be able to because the USA school system sucks.
@@Amirpdd because you asked them about African countries, but normal people (Europe, North America or even South America) do not know much african countries. Also, the people you ask for african/asian countries are not the same as the people from the beginning.
I am American and can name every country in the world. You could name it and I'll point to it. You could point to it and I'll name it. You can name it and I'll tell you which countries share a border with it. Piece of cake.
@@CaptainAmerica001 America is not a continent, North America and South America are two different continents, that is what we are taught in Both continents, you'll never hear someone from Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Canada call themselves American.

@@Amirpdd Totally understandable, it is good to see that not every American is ignorant. I still do believe that ignorance is a big problem in the US, but it is good to see that this next generation might fix this issue.

@@CaptainAmerica001 I should have wrote US american, sorry
any country in ASIA??

answer - INDIA.❤❤
So?
The guy said Moldova first before any country.
I don't think that they were all Americans
But these should be university students
Tho
Primary school students should be able to respond to these question easily
As I mentioned in the video, I wanted to put the stereotype up to the test. However, I am sure that if I asked a different group of people with different education levels, the results would have been different.
@@Amirpdd the thing is USA's education system also differ from states to states
I think you interviewed 3 africans on the four
The couple or the siblings that you interviewed were may be from nigeria too
The two other girls
They might have been europeans
Only one of the four was an Afro-American
The mother and her daughter were Americans i think
@@heroeus8173 Remember that the question "Where are you from?" can prompt all sorts of responses. As one's ancestors/descendants may be from elsewhere, however, they have grown up and identified as Americans. So it is not always easy to distinguish.
@@Amirpdd if i was born in USA
And someone ask me where are you from?
I would respond
I am from usa followed by the state i grew up
However if someone ask me where my lineage or ancestors comes from then i would give a much different answer
@@Amirpddthe question concerns more about USA's education system 🤔
I would say
If An American would have grew up in let's say england and that person would have clearly benefit from a british education(example)
So that person would have a more euro-british education back ground
Despite being American
Now ask them to point them out on a map...
Definitely plan on doing that!
Aggies saved the day!
Restored my faith in American education. What about all the other vox pop surveys like Jay Leno or Jimmy Kimmel, though? Why such a huge discrepancy? Looks like two different countries!
🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🇬🇧
Those videos are also what startled me! It depends on who you ask, that's why next time I'll try it off a college campus and see what kind of responses I get.
That's simple: those shows do those skits for laugh. They choose and edit. All country can look like that because we all have our portion of ignorant.
@@puraLusa As I’ve said, it largely depends on who you ask
It depends I suppose; Those military guys sure are smart.
Now, name any country in America:
Going to a college to ask is not representative of all Americans.
You're absolutely right Don, however, there have been so many videos put out there that college students are unable to answer the same exact questions.
You should've asked them if they could name any of the Pacific island countries.
my boy want to start a war with all the Stans
🤣
As an Indian I have seen this video Countries in Asia are most populer
We people from other countries other than USA learn about the world & our neighbors. The US doesnt seem teach its people about the world & its people. Im not American but i live in one of its territories & even here in our schools its sad. Our textbooks is basically just about the US & how the world wants to be like the US.
That's why América is not a country or nation. Furthermore, 'American' isn't a nationality or citizenship.
Ask yourself why does the United States of América call itself a Continent, AMÉRICA.
Is the issue continental models?
Or people thinking/calling/believing América is a country & American a nationality?
When, why, how did AMÉRICA become 2?
name a country
Everyone: Africa?
Africa is not a country.
Name a country in Africa.
Also Same people: Burkina Faso, Malawi, Mauritania, Togo, Eritrea
The diversity in responses for Africa blew my mind 😁
A good one for Americans! 👍
It was an easy question and some actually struggled with that.
Is funny to think that I learned much more of geography with games and anime than school, for example the names of the continents from Terraria saga.
France, Germany, Monaco, china, chile. Easy. I ain’t an adult but that’s so easy
To be fair, everyone of at least school age from every country should be able to name at least 20-30 countries outside their own continent. And their capital cities. You learn it in primary school. To name 5 doesn't really debunk anything...
If you've seen the videos that I have, you'd be surprised.
nah bro, you just want to hate on americans for no reason
@@lmao5620 not hate, generally americans are bad at geography
shouldn't be mandatory it's choice you know like I don't force you to be a doctor like me yk and I shouldn't they free to choose what they like
1:41, NOPE, Cuba is not North America, it is Central America or the Caribbean
Cuba is on the North American tectonic plate.
5 Countries: Uruguay, Suriname, Guyana, French Guiana, Guinea
Americans are bad at geography. Some of them gave wrong answers and the questioner didn't even notice.
Can you tell me which ones were wrong answers?
@@Amirpdd Anyone who said England. England has not been a country since they were taken over by Scotland 300 years ago.
*U.S. Citizens!
América is not a country or a nation. Therefore, 'American' isn't a nationality, citizenship, or a term exclusively for the U.S.A.!
Anyone who uses these 2 terms as such is due to ignorance, conceitedness, laziness, stubbornness, indoctrination, and/or arrogance!
Furthermore, an American is from the Continent of América!👍
Each country and its capital would be a bit more interesting.
That's a great idea! Thank you!
I'm not sure if Cuba would count as North America, I'd say that's Caribbean
If you google the continent that Cuba is associated with it’s North America
The Caribbean islands are considered part of North America
There are so many countries, the tough part is figuring out where to start, especially when you're in the spotlight like that!
To be real it's a very simple question....
You're absolutely right but I have seen so many people that have been unable to even answer such a simple question!
@@Amirpdd It's really sad...
@@courageouscat7 That's why I needed to be certain for myself.
You should ask for 5 countries with population less than 1M
Woman names countries in Europe
Also woman: Oh outside of America
Name 5 countries outside of Europe? That should be a question.
Or in America!
@@CaptainAmerica001 America? Did you mean North America or South America?

Just América.
@@CaptainAmerica001 USA is one country in North America. You are making no sense. There are three countries in North America, 6 countries in Central America and 10 countries in South America.

The USA 🇺🇲 is a country in America, hence the official name, 'United States of America'.
Not the United States of North America (USNA).
everyone has such a euro-centric view of the world except for the ones with african ancestry
Absolutely agree that all depends who you ask , some people have no interest in geography, not to mention other foreign countries and their cultures
Ahh. If you would of asked me. Would of gotten probably 90% countries of the world. 100% of Europe, South America, and Asia of the countries there
really. how many countries do you think there are in the world?
Spoiler warning they can't
Edit: ok I am a little bit surprised
Singapore, Venezuela, Gabon, Angola, Bhutan
When it comes to geography , Iranians are more american than americans 😂👌
It definitely seems like it!
Not true
If football (soccer) gains more popularity in US..Geography would be much easier..
Tell me you learnt Geography from Fifa without actually telling me 😉
OK I'll just assume they have no clue because they either failed geography in school or
HAVE NEVER TRAVELED OUTSIDE NORTH AMERICA .
Which is very funny, and silly, considering all this tech we have today..
Iam so confused with one damn question. Is Australia a continent or country? 🤔
It's both!

é engraçado que o vídeo foi feito pra acabar com o estereótipo que criaram sobre estadunidenses não serem bons em geografia mas ele foi numa faculdade, o que não mostra a realidade de todo o país, assim como os vídeos de onde tiraram que estadunidenses são ruins em geografia também não servem pra isso, porque também foram feitos com pequenos grupos de pessoas, eu particularmente nunca acreditei que TODO estadunidense é ruim em geografia, mas acho que uma maioria não sabe citar nem 5 países da américa sem quebrar a cabeça tentando entender que América é um continente e não um país
I swear if one more of my fellow Americans says Africa or Europe is a country... I'll be sad. Seriously, how can people be this ignorant?! Sorry, but this didn't debunk anything, most of my fellow Americans don't know world geography.

England is not a country, UK is.
Lebanon is not in Asia but in Middle-East...
Actually you're wrong. Geography isn't just about knowing countries in certain continents, but also where they're located in the continent, the countries they border, the population, etc. So if you asked them to point out the countries they just said they wouldn't be able to because the USA school system sucks.
Omegle vs High School Students.
Well, almost nobody mentioned any eastern europe or african countries
If you continued watching I asked African countries as well from several individuals.
@@Amirpdd because you asked them about African countries, but normal people (Europe, North America or even South America) do not know much african countries.
Also, the people you ask for african/asian countries are not the same as the people from the beginning.
Name 5 countries outside North America
umm Atlantis
Nope
BUT THEY MADE A TV SHOW ABOUT A MAN FROM THERE!
i like this test. because i was geography student.
Students at a university, clearly not the general public so obv they’re going to be a bit more educated
I am American and can name every country in the world. You could name it and I'll point to it. You could point to it and I'll name it. You can name it and I'll tell you which countries share a border with it. Piece of cake.

This vid just proves the stereotype?? these questions are the bare minimum. Were not gonna praise them for doing something they're expected to do. Also most of them hesitated or got answers wrong in the beginning. thats soo embarrassing....
A couple people hesitated but everyone answered correctly, it's not a speed test you junkie, just as long as they answered correctly that's all that matters.

That's why I also went beyond and asked them about Africa as well.
Regardless of what continental model anyone follows, it doesn't automatically make América a country & 'American' a term only for the U.S.A.🇺🇲!👍
