[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] Your long post just goes to reinforce the ignorance I described above, with regards to view of "Africans" and "west Africans". It is a pity that there are continental Africans who know no better, and just parrot Eurocentric ignorance. You hear people speak of Africa having the most diversity in terms of phenotype, yet hearing certain people talk about Africans, using terms like the "average African", one would think that it is the least diverse place on the planet. Yes, I know what people mean, when they pigeonhole Africans into a restricted physical type, just like I know what someone means when he/she uses the word "Negro" to mean the "true Negro". Likewise, I do know what some folks mean, when they use the word "African" for only certain parts of Africa, and exclude other Africans and African territories. It has nothing to do with understanding or its lack thereof; I just think such claims are a load of hot air. They have no objective merit to them, other than cementing dogmatic Eurocentric stereotypes of Africans. Are you, for example, going to sit there and tell me that a certain mono-phenotypic pattern represents the "average African", while other phenotypes just as autochthonous to African landscape do not represent an "average African". Are you going to say certain indigenous Africans are "real African" but others are "fake Africans", on the account that their phenotype is not "average". Are you going to say that certain "west Africans" are "typical west Africans", but other west Africans are "fake west Africans"? [/QB][/QUOTE]
