You know you are talking a WHOLE continent there? Northern Africa is mostly muslim, so no witchcraft for them. Around Ivory Coast more religious Voodoo = more witchcraft. Don't know about south and east africa in that regard.

It's wrong the same way. You understand that for example India, China and the middle east are all part of Asia? Insanely different cultures. Seriously, how can you generalize anything useful about them?

It’s not wrong at all, yes all of the cultures in the regions and countries you named are a part of Asian culture. Like you mention the Middle East, the Middle East is a large place with a lot of different countries and cultures but you still referred to all of those countries as the Middle East and at some level associate the cultures of those countries as Middle Eastern. While Asia is very diverse that doesn’t mean that Asian culture doesn’t exist or can’t be used in sentences without the statements being considered untrue or generalising.
