What are the worst things you've heard someone say about your culture or country here in the States?

So I was here at work and I said something in Spanish and this guy who is my supervisor's assistant says ''I thought u told me u don't speak Spanish'' and I said: ''not much, but I learned some in college, ...'' and he says ''they have college in Brazil?'' #######?

Share some of the stupid, racist, diminishing, moronic, or just plain mean things people have said about your country and or culture.

Someone once said we should eat our children.

The worst thing people have said about my country is: America is still number 1.

I mean, how ignorant can one be?

My poor husband hears a lot of "you're not fancy like most British people."

Waaaay too many hours spent in front of PBS have people thinking that everyone out of the UK is posh.

My wifes teacher assistant (an old angry guy who will not be getting his contract renewed because he has a temper issue) has expressed "amazement" more than once that she knew how to speak english before moving to this country. Of course, he is just being a snarky #######.

A co-worker was shocked to hear Bangkok had paved roads. I pointed out his error and also told him that they had a mall that was out of his league.

So many non-world travelling Americans are ignorant and embarrassing.

Interestingly enough my sister lives on a dirt road in Vermont.

You must not get out much then or read around the internet that often.

People are shocked to find out that drugs and prostitution aren't legal in VN. Or there is only 1 Vietnam not north and south.

Once, while I was stopped at a light while riding my bike, a girl in a car next to me asked me how come I'm so white? It was in the middle of summer in Arizona, so maybe she had a point, but really it's genetic and there's not much I can do about it.
