A combination of defaultism and exceptionalism happens very often. An American I knew got surprised we weren’t celebrating Thanksgiving… he had to think it through to figure it out. Another asked me if in Europe there is AC. Many are surprised that not everyone knows fluent English. Here on Lemmy many times statements are made assuming that everyone lives like in US… I sometimes get annoyed at that - my bad.
