When nikkas say look African. They are talking about that malnutrition, hunger look at many Africans have when they come here from poverty. It's that I survived look. Look at Osaka James and I can clearly see, that nikka looked like he had it hard in Africa. That's the look they are talking about. It's the stereotype look. The taxi driver look. It's due to having shyt really hard and not knowing where your next meal is coming from.
Most Africans I've seen who came to America in the last 10 years don't look nothing like this. They look like other Black folks. You couldn't even tell them apart even with their accent. You might think they are British. They are far more Americanized.
The ones who came in my dad's era when Africa had a lot of wars. Yeah, they look like that. Not all of them but you can clearly see African. It's not hard either. Anyone can see it. Everyone has a stereotype look. Haitian got a look that some have. Jamaicans. Everyone does but the look Black Americans think of is this hungry look.
