I rcvd a "joke" a while back regarding different tribes in kenya. This was how Luo was described:

Jaluo
-Living in big expensive rented house
-Has big car 4000cc petrol
-Family living in Mombasa
-No investments; thinks of investing back home but fears being bewitched
-Leader of KPA trade union; always complaining, agitating for fairness/
equitable distribution of resources
-Meets ten friends in a pub with loud music each person has six beers
waiting to be drunk and politicking.


Anyone who lives in the US, has to notice that they are the same stereotypes used with AA.

Now this is the kikuyu part:
Kikuyu
-Living in his own house in Mombasa ; family living in Mombasa ; happily
settled at coast
-has rental houses, matatu in Mombasa
-owns a small car 1300cc EFI
-meets a friend at a local cheap bar for nyama choma and one or two
beers
discussing business

Anyone in the US, would have to know this is how a white person would be compared to an AA.
