[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] Egypt has their own homegrown streotypes about Upper Egyptians[Saidi] that most are dumb or slow people. Most of the jokes you hear amung Cairene mostly have to do with Upper Egyptian people. I don't think most Egyptians like racial jokes though. I would define it more as xenophobia than racism. Unfortunatley,Egyptians have also picked up many racist lingo like 'ooga booga'' which comes from America media. Most of these attacks on Africans also tend to be in more areas like Maadi which are Afrangi Egyptians[wannabe European Egyptians],and in other areas you have balady Egyptians[people from rural areas]. My advice for you is to read a little about modern Egypt before you come. One book I recommend is the Balady Women of Cairo by Evelyn A. Early. [/QB][/QUOTE]
