Maybe because they do the same thing to others. For example, back in the day, white americans researches would always be saying that they were genetically smarter than blacks and any other color races.

I am world traveler of sorts, have met many Europeans, and can say,in general, Europe stays much more informedabout the rest of the world than any other region. It'strue thateverywhere in the world has stupid people. What make things like this a disgrace, is the fact that Americans have more opportunity than anyone else in the world to educate themselves (which I should mention here is not a school's sole responsibility), stay informed, and act to improve the globe's status.Instead, however,we choose to be lazy, selifsh, and accepta status of having more money than ethics. We waste thousands of dollars annually on goods that just get thrown in garages and basements; and a lot of other things we don't need but choose to indulge ourselves anyway, while the rest of the world suffers.
As for Asia, I am an expert there. East Asia stays about as informed as we do. They're too busy trying to rebuild their economies after having been decimated by each other or decimated by the West throughout history to worry about what's happening in the rest of the world. (That's why Moogley doesn't know **** outside his business.)
Everywhere else stays pretty uninformed as well.
Btw, I am an American and could answer almost everyone of those questions.

The questions in the video were created to stump people (with lesser intellegence of course), but none the less, the easiest test i've ever taken.
