As an African myself, that is the weirdest thing I’ve seen from East Africans, the worst are the black Sudanese. I recall an article I read a while ago where two black Sudanese men had to fill a UK census, they jumped in hoops to check Arab in the ethnicity box. Islam/Arabic culture brainwashed some black Africans toward alienation.
I will say When you say East African you gotta be specific though probably more than any other region on the continent fa sure Lolll

shyt happens fa sure too but from what I observe most cultural perceptions come out of misunderstandings, but if those people already have there mind made up they not really tryna hear shyt out and get down to the nitty gritty.........Those Black Sudanese claiming Arab thats some deep rooted and complicated shyt....something your not really gonna be able to figure through basic conversation...
Its funny cause I got a homie whose Nigerian he was just jokingly tellin me how he was gonna stop claiming cause of all the dumb shyt people would say afterwards, obviously he was joking but you could def feel the frustration in his tone loll...SShiiittt my ex is Afro-Dominican and she would vent the same frustrations all the time...
in a perfect world we would take shyt on a case by case basis ....but there's a reason we don't live in a perfect world
