Because it’s never about them. I’ll explain to you as an example
When people make jokes about East African men being skinny and looking malnourished they always uses Somalis from back home and use pictures that’s available from the web and make fun of their expense due the lack of foods supply they have back home. They say East African are skinny, they have large foreheads and buck teeth. But these insults are synonymous to Somalis. Because back home they are skinny and deformed. and they use pictures to put them down.
They gases the women up by showing models just so they can lure them with these baits. This is in order to create a division between the men and women.
You’re right about East African being broad
It’s a plural term when we’re referring to the whole of east of Africa. But is it? When they show pictures of East African men are they showing pictures of Ugandans or Kenyans or Somalis.
When they show attractive East women are they showing Ugandans or Kenyans or are they showing Somalis, Ethiopians or Eritreans? Especially when they’re fetishising East African women (Horner women). I’ve been on this circle before and know the terminology really well. I know who they’re referring to and who they’re taking about.
Twitter is a cesspool of post like these. I understand why Somalis (especially the men) react the way the they do.
I get monkey Jokes are corny as hell. But you’ve been a prime targets for decades. You can’t really blame them.
