Hopefully she is now also aware that Africa is a continent with more than 50 different countries and a civil war or famine in one country does not negate that in another country things might be peachy keen? Like....everywhere else in the world?

This is like going to someone's house, making a big scene about how clean and fancy their home is, and then when they get offended at you basically saying you thought their home was gonna be dirty, you try and say "well I was always taught your kind lived in squalor" like that does not make it any less disrespectful. You're an adult, use your BRAIN and get some couth.

It's 2024, you can literally just follow someone from one of any number of African countries on social media and see how they live in literal seconds. You have to be so incurious to at your big age be acting like this is some shocking revelation.

maybe i’m petty but i think it’s fine people aren't approaching her in good faith, she’s not a good person lmao

you hit the nail right on the head. as someone who's pretty used to gringos thinking my country is just one big forest where we constantly share places with monkeys and snakes, I'm absolutely over having any patience with these grown ass adults thinking it's somehow commendable or endearing that they suddenly decided to be less ignorant.

[blazingeternity]

lol I just thought the place you describe sounds amazing & how I'd long to be somewhere like that right now... until I remembered that I too am supposed to be from "one big forest full of monkeys and snakes" which in reality is a noisy, polluted concrete hell run by greedy capitalists. 💀

Americans really are fucking stupid.

"I wanted to show that people in Africa don't live like how we've been shown."

Doesn't actually name the country that she's in in her rebuttal (Zimbabwe).

She did tag Zimbabwe in the initial vid
