The US cultural and education system is meant to keep us deadened and stupid to the world around us. While I agree in abstract geographical knowledge shouldn’t matter, in this case it is a sign that a person is investigating and learning beyond the background milieu. It doesn’t mean they have good opinions to be clear, just that they have thoughts beyond what the TV tells them to think.
