No I suspect most of them haven’t got a clue. Similar to most Americans haven’t got a clue where most of America is.

That's probably why they referred to Communists as 'Pinkos'. If they had said 'Reds' then they would have been confused with Republicans :smile:

I don’t know about ‘where America is’, but some struggle with ‘where Britain is’. I remember a (possibly faked) picture of a world map with dots of where College students had marked the position of Britain. It was not encouraging, but was amusing.
