Not proud of this.
Whenever I deal with somebody that speaks in an African (especially W African) accent, I automatically devalue whatever they say and deem them full of shit.
Wasn't born this way. Don't think my parents ever encountered many African accents so it's not their fault. This one comes from my own experiences.
In most cases, this is wisdom lol. But Africa is a huge continent so your generalization is a tad brash. Congolese speak French and Portuguese, Mozambique is all Portuguese, Namibia is English and German, in South Africa alone we have more than 10 OFFICIAL languages each coming with its own accent. So when people try pretend to know anything about the continent, I automatically deem them full of shit. Wasn't born this way just my own experiences traveling and listening to ignorant people.
