I Studied Abroad in Africa!

So.

You go to one of those fabulously elitist schools where everyone talks about privilege, classism, racism, sexism, etc. as if they don't practice it in real life. But in order to really see the world, they decide to go somewhere where they can understand what their privilege looks like. So they choose AFRICA! Yay! A whole continent dedicated to helping white people understand what it means to be poor and undeveloped.

This is for all you fabulous biddies who decided that Africa was the right place for you. There's nothing like good 'ole exotification to fill up your time while basking in the hot Saharan sun, wearing your "traditional" African clothes, eating "weird" foods and taking as many photos of black children as possible. You go, Gurl with lots of privilege! This is dedicated to you.

Gerard Butler goes to Africa

Gerard Butler, holding a gun, protecting a young Sudanese baby. And to cap it all, the slogan:

Hope is the greatest weapon of all…if you don’t count that machine gun in his hand.

Machine Gun Preacher

What do you think? Can Gerard Butler save all of the African babies?
