In the wake of a US Mayor of Nigerian origin allegedly staging a racist attack on himself, one comment read: “This doesn’t surprise me. He did the most NIGERIAN thing you can expect and I’m proud of him.” This statement is not only insensitive but also perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Nigerians, suggesting that such behavior is typical of an entire nationality.
Supporting such actions under the guise of cultural pride is dangerous, as it normalizes unethical behavior and reinforces negative biases.
