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.
