Ethnicity and Geography FAIL

I just had to share this with you. Some fails that happened a year ago and a few days ago.

Here's the ethnicity fail: (happened a few days ago)

Girl: Say, where's your family from?

Me: Puerto Rico.

Girl: Oh! So you're Mexican?

Me: *face-meets-desk*

I had to explain to her that Mexicans are from Mexico, Puerto Ricans are from Puerto Rico, and this girl from across the room shouted, "And Spaniards are from Spain!" Nice to know.

Geography Fail: (happened a year ago)

Teacher: What is the most populated state? (Or largest state whatever? I don't remember.)

Girl: Oh! I know I know! CANADA!

Teacher: *dies of humiliation*

Get this. Her friend thought Mexico was a state also. Just because it's connected with America.

Kid: I'm moving to Belgium. Is Belgium in England? (EPIC FAIL.)

Another kid thought there were 52 states and another said, "No! There's 56!" Our L.A. teacher was LITERALLY slamming her head on her desk.
