She's just shy.

I couldn't tell you were Lanark is. I'd probably guess that it was in the lowlands somewhere. Ironically, my US geography is a lot better. I can name all 50 states of the US and can more or less place them on a map... but I can't do that at all for the counties of my own country. Hell... I don't even know were Suffolk is and it's in the same south-east corner of the country where I live.

We only bother to learn or remember things that interest us. I guess there's a perception of Americans just not being interested in other cultures and countries, so you all get criticised when the stereotype seems to fit.

I'm still confused about the terms "white" and "black," and undiplomatically demand that people call folks with white-ish skin white, and very dark skin black. I knew a guy who said "I'm not white, I'm Russian." No, homes, you're white, and I'm gonna go ahead and say most Asian people are too.

"Caucasian" is a specific term. "White" is not.
