Exactly.
And notice how the tired jokes about scammers, or those talking about the backwardness of Nigerians as a whole, are modded up. I think only ignorant people make generalizations about a country or continent, and they often do so because they're plain lazy/supercilious.
Corruption is not part of the 'culture of Africa' - as if it's all one culture, how scintillating. I see evidence of incredible stupidity on the parts of, say, certain Americans, but I've never seen that as a reason to abuse America's culture or all Americans. Of course, for Africans, any available stereotypes are okay to use, right?
Sorry guys, I'm betting a *lot* of women would be more than willing to drop males and go for the automatons. They're just too polite to rub your noses in it. But don't be surprised and offended when it happens.
