An Asia Minor Lack Of Knowledge

(We were riding on our way to a competition when the subject of history comes up.)

Friend #1: *says something in Chinese*

Friend #2: “No, I said Asian not Chinese.”

Me: “China is in Asia.”

Friend #2: “No, Asia and China are not together.”

Me: “Asia is a continent and China is a country. China is in Asia. You know, like Mongolia is in Asia, Russia is in Asia—”

Friend #2: “Russia is in Asia? I thought Russia was in Poland?”

Me: “Aren’t you in AP World?”

Friend #2: “Yeah, why?”

(The rest of the ride down I was questioning if she was being serious or not.)
