Stupid things people ask you about Africa

Africa is reckoned to be the continent from which all humanity originated, and yet, it is most often also viewed as the continent left behind by modern development. Colonization briefly washed over it, before its inhabitants fell back to tribal strife and primitive superstition. At least, that is the perception. True or false? Is there an Africa perhaps that is not quite as bad as the news headlines and the rumors of fear mongers? Explore this group, and find out what Africans are saying about your ignorance of their world. On the discussion board, you will find threads such as 'Most funny/annoying thing ever asked!!!!!!', 'what is the dumbest thing someone has done after they find out your from africa?', 'Stereotypes about Africans', 'BEST REPLY U HAVE EVER GIVEN TO A STUPID QUESTION' and many more. There are well over 150 images of Africa in the gallery, many showing its beautiful landscapes and wildlife, a few to display road signs you will see nowhere else.

What's great about this group: smile and giggle if you are from Africa, cringe if you are not, but above all, inform yourself.

Update (25 October 2023)
This group does not seem to exist anymore.
