Re: Do Americans really not take off their shoes in the house?

Every friend of mine who has visited the US has been asked bloody stupid questions.

'Oh my god, do you have running water?'
'Where's your butler?'
'Do you like in a palace?'
'Do you live in a mud hut?'
'What language do they speak in England?'

That kind of world ignorance and the constant news footage about shootings in America kind of gives us a skewed view of the States.

Now I wonder if this is a universal experience. And if your friends were really asked that by a lot of people (and not just repeating the one or two times they were asked because it makes good stories).

Sadly a lot of people in the US are very privileged and unaware of it, and on top of that our education system needs a loooot of work. But it's kind of shitty to judge a country of 300+ million people based on the ignorance of some of its members even if it's fairly visible.
