Uhm, I think you misunderstood the question. It's under the heading "American" and then asks "Been to more than 3 states" so isn't it obvious that it means US states as opposed to Indian states?

I agree with the stuff that JA said. Some of the questions are just put into a random category... why does France have the religion question, for example?

I guess that'd be cause of the high religiousness of the country.. you have Christian and Greek stuff in Paris that I've seen.. A lot of people who are Muslims and Jews there so that kinda explains the question I guess Lame one, but it kinda does.

Erm not really And the answer to the question will be a Yes in April, I think

This is a very poorly composed poll.  It is full of stereotypes and has a clear bias.

First of all, you might notice that there isn't a single positive (or even neutral) checklist item for Americans.  This is simply untrue.

Secondly, while sushi has indeed become a popular food in Russia recently, it is absurd for it to be attributed to Russia and not Japan, where it originates.

Let's proceed to the French section.  What do we have here?

"You like wine" -- this would certainly apply equally to the rest of central and southern Europe, as well as south America.

"You speak a little French" and "You have been to France" -- wonderful.  I wish those things would make me French, because it's a nice country.

"You are either a Catholic, a Muslim, a Protestant or a Jew" -- excuse me, but that covers most of the world, right there.

There's so much fail in this I can't be bothered to enumerate it all.  Obviously, this survey was written by some natural blond who hasn't ever left her home country.

I think this was only meant for fun and not to be taken seriously... cmon guys. Laugh a little
