Why Africans Hardly Identify Themselves By Their Ethnicity When Abroad? by AAinEqGuinea: 7:47am On Apr 14, 2015 |
Just curious, because it seems ethnicity is more important with Africans. identifiers------Black (most general) || –---African || --Nationality (most common) || -Ethnicity (most specific, hardly used) \/ |

AAinEqGuinea:Non Africans do not understand the concept of ethnicity. Some think Africa is a country. African" is what most people out there know and understand. But tribalism exists even among immigrants who will tend to organize themselves around their ethnicity. 2 Likes |

when you name ur country and get asked where it is, more than once, you learn to not bother.... most times i just say africa and leave it at that. only when the person engages me further and displays geographical intelligence do i say nigeria. 2 Likes |
