Stereotypes about Africa, Africans, and African culture are common, especially in the Western World.[1][2] European imperialism was often justified on paternalistic grounds, casting Africa as less civilised, and Africans as less capable of civilising themselves.[3][4][5][6][7] These stereotypes can still be seen in today's press.[8][9]
