Africans Feeling Out of Place in Other African Countries/Regions?
Are there any Africans from predominantly black African countries who have traveled to other black African regions/countries and felt out of place? I’m West African and I feel at home in East Africa (maybe a few differences but nothing major) and I have a strong feeling I won’t feel out of place in central Africa.
As a West African, I think the true challenge would be in Southern Africa, I’ve never been but from what I know, even though we might have a lot of differences with Southern Africans, we have more in common than we have differences.
I thought of making this thread because I recently saw some South Africans debating online over whether the culture of women kneeling when giving their husbands food/water was a culture that should be preserved. It took me by surprise because that is/was also a practice in the West African country that I’m from. And we were having the same exact debate.
There are other examples about our similarities but I don’t want to make this long.
I’d really like to hear your experiences, anecdotes and opinions regarding this.
