In France they teach 5 continents. Europe, Asia, Africa, America, and Australia. I was a language learner there and explained the US 7 continent system. The South Americans in my class said we were racist for splitting North and South America. I told them as far as I knew the split was between Venezuela and Columbia, had something to do with tectonic plates, and that and North America included lots of Spanish speaking countries. I guess they decided we weren't racist after all. At least not because of that.
