Also, my Mom's boyfriend is a geologist, and has spent a lot of time going out in remote places in Africa, and when he demos a laptop, they often stare in amazement.
@XFuncCaRteR The specifics of a single region cannot be applied to an entire continent. And I doubt "remote places" are where most of the population or more advanced infrastructure is.
just like people complain that Africa is not a country, lemme tell you that America isnt one either. The USA is a country, but "America" was referred to by Europeans as the entire New World. Brazil was Portugal's "America", the Spanish-speaking countries were Spain's America, just like the 13 colonies were Britain's America. So if you say you come from "America" you might as well come from Brazil or Colombia.
Africa=Alkebulan (Original name of Africa)=continent i.e. physical land mass. Ghana, Gambia, Namibia, Mali, etc are the countries WITHIN the continent of Alkebulan. Hope that clears up any misunderstanding.
Can people stop saying "Africa" as though it is 1 country!!!!!! There are 53 different countries with thousands of different cultures. Be enlightened!
It's true obviously that Africa is a continent rather than a country however I think in the context of what the video is trying to portrait it's appropriate not to differentiate because most people don't, ridiculous as it seems!!
When you say "Africa" - where do you mean? Swaziland? Or Libya? grr...... Why does everyone always refer to a village as African? what? What is a European village? gr.....
Love it. As a former aid worker in Africa I can say without a doubt that I have seen this played out for real on a number of occasions. Hell, I've been Kathy more or less - at least when I started out!
This was made before the current famine?

I think the "African villager" title is part of the joke. Get it now? @ the author, too funny.

@boina60
They said AFRICAN villager so technically they are still correct.
If someone said Native American it is understood who they are speaking about DESPITE the fact of their being different tribes.
