If you put it that way, I guess yeah but lack of (basic) knowledge can depend on multiple outside factors (maybe his school was just shitty etc.) so I don't really hold it against someone and I don't really hold it against someone if it's unrelated to their work either. Like, I wouldn't know the capitals of the 12 provinces of the Netherlands myself either and I live there. I know the capital of my home province and the capital of the country but that's it.
But yeah, his answer was just silly. He should've known that Mexico is an entirely different country and even if you can't name your states/countries, you should have a global idea of where is what I guess lol
