Welcome to the Map of Africa According to the USA. As you can see, our knowledge of this vast and diverse continent is limited to a few stereotypes and misconceptions. From ‘Yay, democracy!’ in the north to ‘Fucking desert, dude!’ just below, this map is a humorous take on how the United States views Africa.
- “Looks like democracy is spreading across Africa, one desert at a time.”
- “Africa: where deserts are abundant, and water is scarce. Good luck, guys!”
- “African Americans: the only thing we know about Africa.”
- “Just your average map of Africa: hunger, poverty, and a sprinkle of diamonds.”
- “Looks like the birthplace of our 44th president is located in the middle of nowhere.”
- “Ahoy, mateys! The land of pirates, where X marks the spot for buried treasure.”
- “Africa: where AIDS is as common as sand in the desert.”
- “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and Africa has plenty to go around.”
- “Looks like Antarctica isn’t the only place to find penguins!”
- “Osama’s grave: the final resting place of a terrorist, located in the middle of the sea.”
- “Suez Canal: the only man-made feature on this map worth mentioning.”
