okay raise of hands... how many of you think all africans are running around in lion clothes?

Question

It gets on my nerve how dense some people can be. My cousin came over from Nigeria and a lady in church asked her "so how do you feel wearing clothes.' WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT. Or the time when we went to the doctors office and the nurse said "oh, so you came to America to get a good education". AGAIN WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT! I mean I had to tell the lady off..... no she didn't come here to get a good education...I mean she is 13 and a sophomore in High School....there are numerous other occassion,but those are the ones that annoy me the MOST!

my bad I meant to say loin cloth not lion cloth.

Answer 1

its just the stereotypic mind of the evolving human.....i mean most ppz think of holland as the wooden-shoe country...well nobody in his right mind wears them here....don't even try to alter the "view" they have,cuz they're too ignorant,you'll only frustrate urself,and people like that arent worth it..just smile at them,since you know their mental incapacity.....don't even try to explain,cuz they won't understand.

Answer 2

It's really sad how dense and hurtful people are. I just can't understand how some people go through life with the head stuck up their own a**!!

It's these stupid comments that breed ceaseless racism; there might still be some tribal areas of Africa, but the mass majority have been "civilized" (only calling it that because that's what people assume it would be) since before America was founded. Not that they were better off; it's like how everyone assumes AIDS came from Africa and hence, Africans-- that's such BS it hurts. They're just the ones suffering the most because their governments don't prioritze healthcare.

Answer 3

That sounds pretty silly, I agree. All the people I have ever met who were from Africa were in the medical profession and never even so much as seen a lion outside of a zoo and wouldn't be caught running around naked for love nor money...LOL

Answer 4

Well, thats only america, a country having worst secondary education, with people believing that sweden is their state and keep saying me that they dont believe im lithuanian because we have no electricity here or keeping calling me a nice russian girl after me trying to explain them that lithuania is a purely aistian country, not slavic, but probably they dont know what aistian means.. So, my answer is - what else could you expect from americans?..

Answer 5

Of course they don't wear lion clothes!
Lions are far too dangerous to hunt.
They wear rhino skin, buffalo fur and monkey fur.
Sometimes they make shoes out of snakes.

Answer 6

It amazes me how really stupid people can be. These people would most likely be insulted if you told them that their ancestors had to come to America to learn to speak right or to learn manners. (But obviously they didn't learn those manners) My apologies for those who left their education in the trash. Not every one has the attitude that no one can be "civilized" unless they are from America.

Answer 7

There will never be a shortage of people who embellish their stupidity with ignorance. Stereotypes are the prehistoric tools they work with.

Answer 8

i know what u mean. my husband is military and we're staioned in italy, and there are alot of africans here, so when these people see me walkin down tha street, they do ask stupid crap like that. i completely understand and its utterly ignorant and stupid.

Answer 9

well I do not think that..so we can not show my hand.

Answer 10

not me what-so-ever
