Oh come on, that's common knowledge, and yes tests have been done asking highschool students to point to various countries on a world map, most were unable to correctly point to states they don't live in.
It was pointed out that most ordinary Americans never travel abroad, and have a very insular approach to 'their' world. That's just a fact not a criticism.
I suppose thats one of the advantages of being in the UK, is that in the time you could fly from NY to Dallas we could fly to a dozen different countries and cultures, although I wouldn't be so rude as to say this makes us more cultural.
