Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Zitate

What I find problematic is the suggestion that when, say, Madonna adopts an African child, she is saving Africa. It's not that simple. You have to do more than go there and adopt a child or show us pictures of children with flies in their eyes. That simplifies Africa.

Problematisch finde ich den Vorschlag, dass Madonna, wenn sie beispielsweise ein afrikanisches Kind adoptiert, Afrika rettet. Es ist nicht so einfach. Sie müssen mehr tun, als dorthin zu gehen und ein Kind zu adoptieren oder uns Bilder von Kindern mit Fliegen in den Augen zu zeigen. Das vereinfacht Afrika.
