You sound like the type of people OC is being confused with.
You sound like a yank. The international bias is against all of us. You might be able to get a different bias if you assert that you're Californian, but a random Spaniard doesn't know what a Midwest or a new jersey is and is annoyed that Americans expect everyone to know.
It's like if a Mexican were to assure you that they're from Chiapas when you ask if they're Mexican. Firstly the average American doesn't know what Chiapas is, and will probably assume it's either a city or country, not a state, but even if they know it's a state in Mexico they don't know what the hell that means because most Americans don't know shit about Mexican internal politics and safety.
The fun part about when someone tells me they're from a place I've never heard of is that I get to ask them about that place now. I enjoy it. I don't expect everyone to know it, but maybe I do expect them to be interested in conversation.
