Video reveals that many Americans can not identify the United States on a map

Taking advantage of the situation in the United States because of the European tour of President Donald Trump, popular TV presenter Jimmy Kimmel sends a team with a simple mission but important in the street: seek citizens willing to show their knowledge in geography. What happened was recorded and shared on the YouTube social network, where he became viral.

"It is imperative that the United States have strong relations and knowledge about other countries," Kimmel said. "This responsibility extends to all of us, not just to the president, so we did a test, the test is very simple, we went out and asked the people who were pbading through to name a country on the map, that's Is everything. "

Surprisingly, the test ended up showing a troubling reality: some US citizens can not even locate their own country. The YouTube user community has expressed outrage at seeing the images.

"My level of geography is horrible", "I have been in school for a long time", "You should not have learned that at school # 39; school "? or "who knows things like that?" Some excuses were used by pbadersby to justify their ignorance, which had serious difficulties in locating countries.

Fortunately, the last participant ended up "saving the day" because he demonstrates his great knowledge on the subject: he highlighted countries like Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Brazil, Peru , Colombia, Venezuela and Mexico. The most surprising? It was a boy.
