Well, you're not alone in being pig-ignorant:) Even on the best TV knowledge-contest programs like MasterMind, sometimes I'm surprised at how drastically wrong some answers are about geography. 'Of what country is Nuku'alofa the capital ?' 'Bahrain'. 'In what state or territory is Uluru ?' 'South Australia'. Look them up, Misop.
So you're in plenty of ignorant company. Yes, you may be right, that many people overseas think of Australia as being part of Asia, and therefore that Australians are Asians. Frank Sinatra thought that we all spoke Spanish. Most Australians aren't aware that all of the main towns and villages across the entire north of Australia were bombed by the Japanese, not just Darwin, from Charters Towers around to Port Hedland, and inland to Katherine.
Poor boy, so much to learn ........
