I've mentioned this issue on HN a ton but it gets downvoted to oblivion. It truly is a hivemind.

It's a hivemind of a certain culture who are only taught there exist only 9 countries in the whole world: USA, Canada, South America, UK, Europe, Japan, China, Asia, Australia.

What do you mean that Africa is a continent of great diversity in cultures, languages and history? They all look poor and black to me.
