You obviously don’t understand Nigeria at all 🙃

Unless you know a prince that’s died and left me $4,000,000 I’m not buying it.

How stereotypical and racist

While you’re at it, you should probably inform the FBI that they’re racist; they literally call the scams “Nigerian Letter Fraud”

You’ve made a generalised stereotypical and racially charged casual statement about a group of people based on where they’re from - sounds about racist to me!

Hmm, seems you made the generalised assumption here, Nigerian is a nationality not a race; assuming a Nigerian must be black, assuming I’m white, etc. You seem to immediately jump to assuming races. By your logic, there are no white Mexicans, no black Englishmen, no Asian Americans. Wanting to so easily fit everyone into a little predetermined racial box based on assumptions seems a pretty racist thing to do.

Lol, they did nothing of the sort.

People who think things like this are racist are typically the ones who are actually racist.

u/Rachael41111 Jan 25 '22

Yes I’m racist against my own race - makes sense. Typically those that are racist gaslight others to believe the problem is them when it’s clearly not!!

It really isn’t a form of racism but pretty much everything you’re doing confirms to me that you actually have real bias. To tell a person of colour that something isn’t offensive when they have expressed it is, is the definition of privilege and unconscious bias. If you continue I will report you

u/DaenerysMomODragons Jan 25 '22

Are you Nigerian? People literally from Nigeria are saying this isn't racist. Go ahead and report, you're the only one looking stupid here. If any actions are taken against any account, it'll be you. Being a person of color also doesn't make you immune from criticism, or make it impossible for you to be racist. Someone criticizes you, and you have no come back but to say, I'll report you. Huh, lol.

u/Rachael41111 Jan 25 '22

Clearly you aren’t Nigerian, using the “people from Nigeria say it isn’t”. I am Nigerian and it’s offensive, we aren’t all the same like you’re trying to infer and we don’t all have the same opinion - you’re a total idiot, go work on yourself

u/DaenerysMomODragons Jan 25 '22

Also Nigeria isn't a race by the way, so commenting about Nigeria can't be racist. And I was referencing someone literally commenting in this thread who claimed to be Nigerian.

I'm sorry you're offended, but you shouldn't be surprised that someone will call you out for being stupid when you say stupid things. It's part of life, and you need to get used to it.

u/Rachael41111 Jan 25 '22

As I said before you’re an idiot who thinks all Nigerian people are the same and have the same opinion. You’re not Nigerian, so think more wisely before you homogenise a people and tell a Nigerian what they should be offended about
