I don't know. To be honest, alot of the Americans that I have met, are really dumb. NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE HERE...PLEASE!

It's like, why do most Americans think that I live in snow 24/7 365 days a year? I'm not kidding either I went to Michigan a couple of years ago which is only a 3 hour drive from where i am and they thought that I had to wear a snowsuit year round??? WTF?

PS, I said, ALOT not all...lol. Trust me, I used to frequent the states 2-3 times a month.

RE:

Why do Americans think Spain is a South American country?

My schoolmate was asking me where I was born I told him Spain and she said "Oh wow that's so cool I love South America I always wanted to visit there!!"

Huh?

Think Spain

i don't know i think because Spain equals Spanish and Spanish equals either Mexico or south America. In America geography is not a subject that is focused on entirely.

I'm from Yugoslavia i remember in fourth grade we had to remember the 7 seas and all the continents names and locations.

I know for a fact most Americans Do not know that.

It's goes to show you how some Americans are uneducated not it's not just the Americans that think that way i had foreign Europeans who thought Spanish is from mexico which i always take that very offensive once there was a international party going on my daughter's school so all of us parents were to bring a food dish from our country so i brought in rice mixed with pigeon peas its a dish from Puerto Rico right away this polish lady comes up to me and thought my food Puerto Rican dish was mexican i took that a very hard offensive i have o patience for stupid people like that

Well i know that a Spain is a European country.

Some Americans might get it mixed up because they speak Spanish and south America is nothing but Spanish speaking people, for the most part.

Americans think Spain is in South America, Really? I thought it was in Europe. Um....not all Americans are how should I say this: uneducated.

He is not very smart. He is confusing Spain with the many Spanish speaking countries of South America simply because of linguistic descent. Not all Americans are like that though you only heard it from one person.

Spain isn't in South America?
