    Perhaps I should defend my people, but there's a trend going around TikTok that's making that a VERY difficult task. Australian TikTok user @voidable_ asked people to share the dumbest thing an American has ever said to them. His experience was with an American who insisted there were 40 states in the US:

    Here are some of the most 🤦‍♂️ responses:

    1. Someone asked this person how they were able to post stuff on social media while in Brazil, because they didn't think there would be internet there:

    2. And someone asked this person whether they had internet in Australia...while they were on video chat with them:

    3. Someone tried to tell this guy — who is Mexican — that Cinco de Mayo is Mexican Independence Day (it's not) and that Mexico is in South America:

    4. Someone in San Diego asked this guy if he drove there from Australia:
