It remembers me about one post in 9gag. I don't know the name of the cartoon but I think it's kind famous. In the post, they make the cartoon's scene like a comic, there's an asian and two americans, the asian explained about his country, it's next to Iran I guess. 80% of the comic was about him explaing where are him from, in the end, the americans look at each other without understanding and ask: so... are you chinese or japanese? In the coments, obvious, the people make fun with it, saying that americans are horrible in geography. (yes, generalizing with themselves) I'll try to find the post.
And here's the clever response from one "Asian" guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zulEMWj3sVA

Yes, very interesting. The problem is not just about lack of knowledge about geography, but the tendency to homogenize the other.
