@mashable why couldn't you have named the country instead of calling it an African country?

-
@TanakaMadeu a good q. i made that decision as not everyone knows what/where rwanda is (sadly).
-
@moneyries @TanakaMadeu that is sad. Rwanda is one of the most well known countries there imo.. Hell there are even movies named after it..

@mashable Rather generalizing term, "an African country". You wouldn't see "a European country" or "a North American country". -
@mylesmarcus made that call as not everyone knows where Rwanda is — wanted to generalize a bit so all readers had idea where ban is. -
@moneyries@mylesmarcus Plus it adds a comic effect to it. A jab at those generalizing that "Africa is one country that has ebola." -
@ArchieHenry2@moneyries@mylesmarcus if anything it plays well into their hands..?? -
@MweneGatete
@moneyries@mylesmarcus No. Because it dispels stereotypes that Africa is a country and Africa has ebola. -
@MweneGatete Because it highlights that Rwanda, an African country, doesn't want ebola entering its borders
@moneyries@mylesmarcus -
@ArchieHenry2@moneyries@mylesmarcus point was him simply calling it some "African country" and anyhow who would want ebola crossing border - 6 more replies
