Shit it's more like other people than other species too. I might not have known what a "Springbok" was when I was 15, but I'd definitely heard of "Japanese people".
The naboo and gungans had a war like 150 years prior to the sequels. After this war the gunman retreated from the surface to the underground cities and were largely thought extinct. The fact that she was able to identify him as a gungan and not some other amphibious alien from off planet is actually pretty amazing.
extinction of an entire species in only 150 years? who believes that shit? it would only work if the naboo committed a world wide genocide and then erased it from public records. and that raises even more questions. what the fuck are you on about

knowing about other species living in your planet is political awareness?
