It made me realize millions of people thought most of Africa lived in huts.
You mean dumbass American perceptions?
As a Native American I have been asked more than once if I live in a teepee by other Americans. I often respond that I do but it has doors and windows and running water and we call it a house.
Tipis are an extremely smart and comfortable way of living tho, in my opinion. I’d prefer it to owning a house if there was a way to legally do that. Unfortunately some guys came along and stole all the land, so now I have to pay them most of my income I made from working the industries that they built and own in order to survive in a bleak existence where seeing pigeons and rats counts for the majority of my daily interaction with nature.
Its a good litmus test if someone has any intellectual curiosity, I know people who have prestigious degrees who think stuff like this.
“I am an expert in exactly how this specific lugnut works, it pays very well” != “I am a smart man”
I have literally never heard a good thing about this Creator
That’s what I was thinking. I was never fond of the clips of his videos I’d seen, and he very knowingly participated in a crypto (?) scam a couple years ago. Maybe he caught enough flack to shape up, or at least look it for the cameras
Having never heard of him before, I looked him up.
He is 20 and has been a content creator for 8+ years. This is perhaps some of his first non-teenaged content, then. So I am not going to judge the monetized content of children too harshly.
Americans are dumb.
They live out most of their lives in their cars, and exhaust fumes are clinically proven to be deeply harmful to cognitve ability. I don’t know why we don’t talk about that more. Wait, no, I know exactly why we don’t talk about that more.
When I was about 16, I was traveling to the US. I still vividly remember immigration asking me if rollercoasters existed in Europe.
Americans also love asking where you’re from, and there’s only 2 responses:
- Oh yes, I actually have far relatives in Belgium!
- Oh yes, I’ve been in Belgium! Amsterdam is such a nice city.
The purpose of the American school system is to provide childcare while the parents work and to adjust children to life as workers, teaching them some of the absolute basic life skills required so that the children can someday take over their parents’ jobs.
And this is one of my primary foes, this design. It’s one of the least libre forms of life and I reject it. I can only hope many others do the same, otherwise America won’t be the only corporate slave-centric country.
When I was in a remedial history class to make time for advanced Spanish, several kids were entirely unable to read. All of them very poor and black. I remember it frequently, any time I try to get my head around the state of the US and the reason education is so frequently under attack. Systemic racism has far reaching ramifications.
Do they got the Pizza Hut?
People are dumb, no need for any American Exceptionalism here
Africa has cities. What?
American education in regards to Africa is extremely minimal. It’s not surprising at all that people know nothing about it.
The biggest thing I know about Africa is aparthied. Because of that scene in Lethal Weapon where some dude is trying to convince Murtoch going to Africa would suck since he is black.
I was taught about desertification and gorillas.
