    what message am i supposed to take away from this?

    other than that OP takes an offensively bleak view of what life in africa is like?

        That’s certainly the inspiration, but it’s not particularly good or insightful. It’s really just trying to use a bleak made up stereotype to say something others have said without it. It should add to the conversation, but I don’t think this does that. It doesn’t give me any insight I didn’t already possess, and at best it perpetuates an idea that is wrong, if not outright racist.

        Just because you aren’t offended by it and don’t care doesn’t mean critique isn’t valid.
