It is true that there are many misconceptions about Africans, similar to the misconceptions people have about us.
KARACHI: This is with reference to the article “My African experience” by Mujahid Alam (September 26). It is true that there are many misconceptions about Africans, similar to the misconceptions people have about us. It is our responsibility, as educated and progressive individuals, to clear these misconceptions. The author has rightly pointed out that people tend to relate the colour black with negativity and white with purity, which isn’t true. Skin colour is hardly relevant and the sooner people realise that the better.
