An american who is ignorant of things outside their country, and quite often ignorant of what goes on inside it too. Media manipulation?, ignorance is bliss!!
NOTE: not all americans are ignorant, every country suffers from the problem, the main problem is when the ignorant american also happens to be a loud american, which compounds the problem and lets others (usually a lot) know of their affliction. Often will carry on about how america saved the world in wwII, but forgets to mention the reason why the majority of troops involved in the d-day landings were american- the allies had been fighting the war for more than a few years and had run out of men!
I heard an ignorant american once ask "what country is europe in?"

An american that thinks they know everything and can solve all of the problems. Basically they're an American democrat. European democrats are a completly different story, but American democrats tend to blame EVERYTHING negative happening on George Bush. Even though the president has little power nowadays when the legislative branch disagrees with them (which our legislative branch does because they're mostly democrats), they still think he is the cause for all problems, causing his approval rating to be at its record low. They are ignorant because they believe what Obama is saying, when he says things like "see what bush has done to wallstreet" when in fact he didnt, because he cant do things like that unless the democratic ruled congress agrees with him. so really he should be saying "see what democrats are doing to wallstreet". Not ALL American democrats are ignorant, but the vast vast vast majority of them are.
Bush: Lets fix wallstreet my way
Congress (dem. ruled): No, we will fix it our way
*congress attempts to fix it and fails miserably*
obama: See what bush has done! Vote for me! I'm black!
Ignorant Americans: Im voting for the black liar!
*McCain dies moments later at the age of 412*

What most americans are. Some who is AI may do any of the following:
1. use "gay" as a general insult.
2.tlkz lik dis on de intrntz.
3. lack basic school knowledge (i met a guy on the internet who didn't know what a compound word is.)
4. hate on famous people (like Justin Beiber) ot of jealousy.
a good place to find peoplet that are AI is Youtube, just look at the comments.
I can't believe i used to be Americanically Ignorant.

Type of condition that causes Americans to be generally uninterested or refuse to easily research other countries politics, culture, ideologies, etc. Americans suffering from this American Ignorance think that American politics is the world's politics.
Person1 displays common traits of American Ignorance.
Scenario 1
Person 1: OH MY GOD! Can you believe India only outlawed acid throwing on women's faces in 2013?
Person 2: Yeah. I can. They're deeply religious and acid throwing was very common. They don't see women the same way as other countries.
Scenario 2
Person 1: European countries basically share the same cultures, right?
Person 2: I mean that's sort of a generalization.
Person 1: Dude really... What's the difference between Germans and Italians anyway?
Person 2: Do you know about the P.I.I.G.S.?
Person 1: What's that?
Person 2: Just shut up before you say anything else stupid.
Scenario 3
Person 1: WAIT! Some African countries follow a different calendar?!
Person 2: Yes. Other countries thousands of years ago followed different ways to record time, and they're still recording their unique time and calendar today.
Person 1: Oh my god, America sucks! Why couldn't we learn about that in school?
Person 2: Some religions in America follow different calendars. You're just not that perceptive man.
Scenario 4
Person 1: Things could be worse in America. Look at how Saudi Arabia treats women.
Person 2: While that is true, that doesn't mean America doesn't have any issues. Stop using other countries ideals as a scapegoat to not want to improve America.
