This is even true of Americans in America!
Someone from bumbfuck nowhere visits one big city and generalizes their experience, good or bad.
Or how all of HN is constantly convinced that the entire US is only SV or NYC, which is why they continually praise how Uber broke the "Taxi Cartel" that didn't exist anywhere else.
Or how much of the country only knows of cities from the propaganda they were fed by Fox News, which is why my brother told my mom that Portland Maine was a war zone back during the BLM marches, because 20 kids were laying down in front of the police department, which was a nothing burger and cops weren't even bothered, more like amused.
But the city is somehow not a warzone when ICE abducts 100 people off the street and kills at least one.
