Person1 displays common traits of American Ignorance.
Scenario 1
Person 1: OH MY GOD! Can you believe India only outlawed acid throwing on women's faces in 2013?
Person 2: Yeah. I can. They're deeply religious and acid throwing was very common. They don't see women the same way as other countries.
Scenario 2
Person 1: European countries basically share the same cultures, right?
Person 2: I mean that's sort of a generalization.
Person 1: Dude really... What's the difference between Germans and Italians anyway?
Person 2: Do you know about the P.I.I.G.S.?
Person 1: What's that?
Person 2: Just shut up before you say anything else stupid.
Scenario 3
Person 1: WAIT! Some African countries follow a different calendar?!
Person 2: Yes. Other countries thousands of years ago followed different ways to record time, and they're still recording their unique time and calendar today.
Person 1: Oh my god, America sucks! Why couldn't we learn about that in school?
Person 2: Some religions in America follow different calendars. You're just not that perceptive man.
Scenario 4
Person 1: Things could be worse in America. Look at how Saudi Arabia treats women.
Person 2: While that is true, that doesn't mean America doesn't have any issues. Stop using other countries ideals as a scapegoat to not want to improve America.
