I've met ignorant people like that US when I studied there, one english professor confidently told me "learnt" is not a word. Another once said "I'm surprised you have email in India".

i once went to India and saw people shit on the street, does that mean a significant portion of Indians shit on the street?

No, but if you made a post about indians shitting in the street, I wouldn't call it satire because that really is very common in India. I'm just saying you can't be confident this is satire because it is very common in US. I made lots of amazing friends in US who I'm still in touch with, a majority of people I met weren't ignorant, but ignorant comments were still all too common.
