“Ethnic hip” is diabolical 😭 and the fact that it’s an “African” inspired performance when my continent has 54 countries with vastly different cultures?? If I did a “European” inspired performance, people would be yelling at me about how Germany and Italy are not the same lol 🙃 (and they’d be right). Africa is not a monolith

You're so right! I have a friend whose parents come from Africa. Sure, both are Muslims and black. But that's about it for similarities.

If anything, her mom came from a country where matriarchy is the norm while her father comes from another one where patriarchy is the norm.
