It was also not uncommon for many students to have conversations with me, which they assumed were progressive, about Africa and Africans that were based on crude colonial stereotypes of Africans as being close to nature, having a good sense of rhythm or even, and possibly the most colonial, having big penises. 
Ni kawaida kwa wanafunzi wengi hapa kuzungumza na mimi, mazungumzo ambayo wao huyachukulia kwa uzito, kuhusu Afrika na wa-Afrika, hujikita kwenye imani za kikoloni kwa wa-Afrika kama watu wanaothamini asili, wanaoongea kwa bashasha au hata, kwamtazamo wa jumla, kuwa ni watu wenye uume mkubwa.
