The bit of the article discussing the danish’s reasoning and “support” of the “poor locals struggling to feed their families” is a bit White Savior-y. I’m not an expert on Binga baskets, but I do know problematic rhetoric towards Africans when I see it. If you would like to learn more I would recommend the No White Saviors podcast. Someone with more well rounded knowledge should edit this with a more neutral stance IMO

I do appreciate the rest of the info though and hope this is taken only as a learning moment and not an attack as that isn’t my intention at all :) 2601:647:4500:EF30:2CF8:D30F:D382:E335 (talk) 05:44, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
