>tfw you have family members who unironically believe that all other countries besides america are third world shitholes

example: my aunt once started talking about how we should pray for all the hungry souls in australia at a family dinner. later I asked her why she thought that. She thought the entirety of australia was the outback with starving children living in mud huts everywhere

started getting me thinking about how everybody in this country has too much pride. Instead of teaching kids of other peoples cultures, we shove 'murican pride down their throats. A lot of schools go as far as giving kids who dont say the pledge of allegiance detention
