Why don’t people say where they’re from on SW?

I am from the US. Sometimes my country does things that I am ashamed of, but I am still American. Knowing where you’re from makes it easier for others in the SW family to communicate with you… to know what additional information you may require, and what time zone you may be in. I am simply referring to the fact that it’s not listed on many profiles. Most people will tell you if you ask.

Saying you are from the US isn't very precise and doesn't even tell me which time zone you are in. Surely people from Alaska have a different experience of life compared to those who live in Florida and that must have some influence on their politics and behaviour.

I could say I'm European and someone from Cambodia could say that they are Asian, would it mean much to anyone? Would the impression be based on much other than prejudice?

@ninalanyon well, the country helps… at least it’s a start.
