In our country, people think that the USA is the center of the world,

people here think EVERYONE whose skin is a shade darker than ours is
"Mexican", they all speak "Spanish", and they all eat "Mexican
food".
I can probably count on one hand the number of people here who realize
that:
1. Portuguese is the primary language in Brazil
2. Brazil is almost exactly the same size as the USA
3. Brazil has about 2/3 as many citizens as the USA
4. Brazil's currency is NOT the Peso
5. Mexico is a part of North America
It is very embarrassing sometimes. :-( I'm a person who failed nearly
every course in high school, due to disinterest and a crappy system, and
even *I* know these things!
I'm apologize for the way most of us are. We are just clueless, and
we mean no disrespect. (well, most of us don't)
