The comment, “Calabar girls don’t respect people,” is not only tribalistic but also baseless, especially since the commenter doesn’t even know the attendant’s tribe. Instead of addressing the issue of disrespect in a professional setting, the commenter needlessly brings ethnicity into the conversation, further fueling harmful stereotypes.
Making assumptions about someone’s tribe and associating it with disrespect is dangerous, as it promotes bias and fosters division. The focus should remain on the individual’s behavior, not on their presumed ethnicity. Such tribalistic remarks do nothing to resolve the situation and only deepen societal prejudices, which distract from the real issue—ensuring respect and fairness in customer service interactions.
