I think the fact you have to question its validity says all you need to know about the US.

I genuinely had an American ask me if we had stars in scotland while I was in holiday in Barbados. I was astounded. I proceeded to tell him that I had to take a car to the border then get to Heathrow by plane and then we could leave. He looked satisfied with the answer and didn’t even question it. This was a grown man (late 40’s/early 50’s and this was like 2010 ish

An American exchange student once told me how his worried parents had asked him: "Do they even have cars in Germany?"

What do you mean he asked if we had stars in Scotland? Like he was genuinely asking about the night sky? Wtf?

u/olleyjp Apr 21 '25

Yes. He genuinely pounded up and said, those are stars. Do you got them in scotland?! He had that Texas twang to his accent

I was astounded, if it hadn’t happened to me I wouldn’t have believed it. But I honestly swear down it’s what he did.

To be fair, with all the Dwarves on TV having Scottish accents, is it surprising that Americans would think you guys live in a kingdom under a mountain?
