I thought we stopped referring to Africa as a single, homogenous bloc and granted Africans the respect of being referred to & addressed by their individual, diverse countries, backgrounds and cultures but I guess it’s all the same to some people. #UKAfrica
British politicians never say “can’t wait to expand trade ties with Asia.” We directly refer to building relationships with India, China, Pakistan, the Middle East, Iran, Kazakhstan, Japan.
There are 54 countries in Africa. Africa is the most diverse continent on the planet and yet we are still using language that perpetuates this idea of the homogeneity of African people and I’m not here for it no matter how much people try to normalise it.
