    I’ve talked to a person IRL who didnt understand that Arnold is a US citizen, was the governor of California, but was born in Austria and cannot be president.

    To some people, they also think foreigners can’t be governors and were convinced one of his parents were American because he “looks American”

    It’s not necessarily related to this post, but a personal anecdote about my experiences with stupidity

      That’s the issue Obama had in the Republican’s eyes. He looks African.
