Nothing I said was racist.
A large part of Africa is in the south.
You’re projecting your racism.

Explain what you mean by “africa not finding its way out of a paper bag since humans showed up”
Don’t see how else to take this
Yeah?
Where’s the racism in my comments? Particularly considering only 3/54 countries are in the top 50 of global GDP and the first country doesn’t even show up until #30.
Worse, many of the 51 remaining countries are in the bottom 100.
Not quite the bastion of success there eh?
People really need to stop using the expression ‘The Global South’. It sounds elitist af and makes no sense when it’s used to refer to countries that are above the equator like Iran.
Tehran is roughly the same latitude as Norfolk Virginia. Source: I own atleast one map
Plus the south pole is really the magnetic north... soooo... we are all living a lie
Lol.
Great point.
Malcom X and many African revolutionaries have used it as the main banner for over 70yrs.
Why not suggest better
Why not do better?
Global south for countries that aren’t southern at all?
More hilarious than anything.
I would imagine they used the expression in reference to countries that were actually in the global south. When people nowadays start using the expression inaccurately then that’s when it comes across as elitist or ignorant imo. Not to get in the weeds, just giving my 2 sats.
Happy to provide suggestions if you clarify what the common denominator is, which clearly is not latitude.
Maybe you are referring to emerging markets or economies?
I guess they’re south of Europe?
