And in case you still aren't sure what the problem is let me leave you with this from this article.
Africa has long been portrayed as a place of uncivilized, primitive
people, despite the fact that it is a very diverse continent with an
epic diaspora and considered the birthplace of civilization.
From Morocco to Côte d'Ivoire to Ethiopia to Egypt and Nigeria, no one
African country is like another. But these shots tap into the West's
past obsession/fetishization with so-called savages, jungle comics and the like. Again: In a visit to seven continents, this image is what Sports Illustrated is using to represent the continent of Africa. A model holding a fucking spear.
Nope, no racism here at all.....
