I lived in a couple third world countries where grown adults asked if we had cats in the United States.

Should I look down on them for not knowing something about my culture? Or do we have different concerns in our lives in different parts of the world?

I'm not saying that being culturally aware is not good for a person. I'm saying it's not a sign of being better than others. It's essentially the same as me memorizing brain teasers when I was 12. Neat, but not the type of thing to brag about.
