This is absolutely true. In San Diego we have lots of people from both Ethiopia and Somalia. Those two countries may be right next to one another but everyone is astonished at how different the people really are. They are absolutely NOTHING alike!

This is true for many cases where one is Christian and the other one is Islamic, no matter what continent they come from.

Not so much in the former Yugoslavia or Arab Christians in the middle east. Unless they told you thier religion, you never know which they were. The point was that my response was in agreement that many people often think of Africa monolithically when it isn't. No need to argue semantics.

Africa is statistically less violent than Latin America. Another nail in your argument.
