I once did a presentation on child labor in a college class. I showed a chart where child labor was most likely to occur (mind I tell you that Africa was on that list, there was also an African guy in my class) I said NOTHING bad about Africa. My dialogue for that slide was "here's a chart showing where child labor happens in the world." Unfortunately Africa was second on the list.
When I was done with my presentation, he comes up and does presentation on Africa... About 5 minutes in he basically attacks me and says "...africa is a beautiful place, and there is NO child labor there." I'm just sitting there pissed because he basically called me out for a chart that I didn't make, I just found it on google images. Another thing that made me mad was the fact that this guy is from africa, but the good part, and I'm sure he knew that there was, but didn't want to admit it. I'm from America and I'll gladly tell you anything bad about this country, I'm not going to tell you that this is the best place in the world. That's basically what he was doing. I'm not saying Africa is horrible, it does have the beautiful plains and all but there's still treacherous things happening there.
Is it normal Africans get mad when you say Africa is poor when it is?
