Honestly, I was never good at geography. If you pointed to a random state in America, I couldn't even tell you what it was (unless you happened to pick Texas)

A few games of Risk or Rise of Nations will clear that right up.

But this guy can't seem to get the idea that Africa is a continent, not a country.

Knew all the states and capitals by the time I was six.

The answer is ... Hartford Connecticut ... so what is the question?

Technically, most Egyptians consider themselves Arabs, not Africans, because of prestige reasons.  Of course Egypt is in Africa, and many Egyptians have Nubian ancestry (Black) but most are Hamito-Semitic (Brown).  Like in most places, the lighter your skin, the higher caste you are (because it is assumed you live indoors, you don't work in the fields).  N Italians have this prejudice against S Italians for example.  The N Italians are more Franco-Germanic in ancestry ... the S Italians are more Italo-Arabic.  But of course, these biases are only bad, if White Americans hold them.

Well, have you ever heard of a Swazilander-American? Central-African-Republic-American? ;)

Since Americans are almost entirely ignorant in general, and with geography in particular, they are lucky for formulate "African-American" as opposed to less complementary epithets.

I play Risk with a group, but it's typically set in a fantasy universe like Game of Thrones. So I know what Westeros and Essos are.

I knew a lot of things when I was six. I memorized the books of the Bible in order too. But information that isn't put to use tends to go away. Meanwhile, I still remember the original Pokemon theme song. You teach me and I'll teach you.

Some people are hydrophobic, others are Putin-lap phobic ;-)  But really, most American politics is the result of untreated mental illness anyway.

I'm glad I just heat up water in a mug in the M/W and then just drop a green tea bag in there.

I'm thinking we could sell pre-heated hot water to the millennials. "Just pop it in the microwave for two minutes!"
