It's just media propaganda and lack of self-awareness. Imagine if all you know about America is from the New York Times, as was once the case for me. Of course I'm going to believe that blacks are victims and (unironically) that Gamergate is a woman-hating movement.
Yeah, but my issue with it is that as an American I barely care about most of Europe unless I'm forced to. So my lack of knowledge comes from lack of trying.
With the amount of time many Europeans spend obsessing over America and American media/politics, you'd think they'd realize at least a few basic things to not be so blatantly ignorant. Not things they fell for media narratives on, but actual complete failures of basic geography and reality.
