A few months ago I was at meeting of Private Equity firms in NY. I was speaking to the CEO of a firm seeking funds. He was having a great conversation with me until he asked where I was from. His partner said oh Uyi’s from Nigeria. Everything changed.
He next words “ Uyi that poses a problem and I’m sure you can see why. I was so offended. Even his partner was offended. I walked away after a while. He tried to apologize & in doing so equated Nigerian man = Fraud. I read him the riot act. He said he was sorry again.
@debbieo1_ The generalization is a problem to me. All men are not scum , all Nigerians are not fraudsters, all men are not useless. So I speak out against misogynistic men and feminists alike who don’t help the cause with their perpetual generalized outrage.
