Africa is poor purely because of outside influences

This is simplistic and naive to the point it feels like propaganda.

Your view is going to be unpopular with people here. Most on Lemmy would rather blame the outsiders for problems in Africa. However, I don't see anyone mentioning China investing hundreds of millions into infrastructure of African countries and attempting to lift many African countries our of poverty only for these countries to remain where they were. At some point it becomes hard to continue blaming hundreds or dozens of years old events for the current situation when the current people contribute to the presently poor state of things.

You are literally voicing the white nationalist "honorary whites" and the "model minorities" that pits Asian cultures and communities against African cultures and communities. To simplify the African continents experience with colonial exploration to Asias is laughable at best and out right racist at worst.

You must be imagining something because I'm simply stating a fact of a event that has been occuring and observed. If you're projecting some racial issues onto that - that seems like a problem you've gotta deal with yourself.

I don't know what you're on because I've not mentioned whites or Asians at all. It seems you've got some repressed anger you're projecting at my statement of fact.
