Thanks to Hollywood and the media, plus most Americans not even having a passport let alone using it, people really do believe stereotypes

I know midwesterners who truly believe the Middle East is all one story clay shambly shacks, that everyone lives in a single room, and there's a permanent sepia filter on.

They only know it through Western media, and that media usually only portrays it for standard set pieces.

thats why there quite some criticism about "homeland" as being extremely inaccurate

I once to went to Mexio and everything was yellow tinted. Then I took off my yellow tinted glasses and everything was fine.
