thats true with other african countries because they know better but outside Africa its another story

The well-traveled British and French do know better. Especially the French, heck they even have a separate word for Fulanis "Peul" which they learnt from the Wolof in Senegal (Wolof call Fulani Pel which is similar to Peul).

There are many traveling Europeans who go and see the Wodaabe Fulani geerwol because of its uniqueness. So trust that they do know the difference. Forget Americans, they think all Africans are the same.

well I was talking about americans and Canadians, but I get what you mean about Americas though. When it comes to Europeans, it depends

Hey, a very old thread tho but I find it so interesting. I’m a Hausa/Fulani and have been living in France for like 3 years as a student and now a research engineer. I agree with many points in the thread. Northerners are so reserved and attach so much importance to family, home, and community. I personally, on a daily basis, long to go back home and live amongst my people as soon as possible. Many northerners travel abroad but only few talk about it. A lot do not see it the way our southern brothers and sisters look at it.
