Pretty much that.
I was watching something on TV last night about an Ethiopian tribe. All very well some might say but I despise the way Africans are portrayed as some naked, bead-wearing persons without autonomy.
They never show, at least on primetime, the technological developments in East Africa, or the wealth that West Africa offers.
And when it's time to 'give money' r.e comic relief, or whatever, it's always some starving face gawking at the screen.
Why can't they ever show on primetime the go-getters, the ones striving to achieve, the innovators? At present it makes me think wtf!
