I love how american and european chauvinism continues to conquer reason in the 21th century. Why mention Africa when most of the world's malnourished people are in Asia? With the great variance that can occur on a continent why mention continents at all? If one must it is irresponsible to omit that both continents were forced into producing cash crops for export to Western Europe. Does that mean that the Western European models of governance work? Duh!

Ok, most of world's malnourished people are in Asia, so now I can't say that people are starving in Africa without being accused of European chauvinism. Got it.

  The context and weak association was a clue to a reckless mind lurking underneath. Where you got categorical impermissibility only one of your brainwashed peers would know. Idiot!

>Why mention Africa when most of the world's malnourished people are in Asia? Because in the US, at least in my experience, 'starving people in africa' is kind of a colloquial trope - it is more readily referenced than starving people in asia, since we don't see charity organizations constantly using asian faces to advertise their foundations. >forced into producing cash crops for export to Western Europe Who exactly went around the the countries in africa and asia and disallowed them from growing their own food instead of cash crops? My bet is that these places found economic incentive in growing these crops rather than what they would consume locally - whether the global economy is a net benefit or net loss for a poor country is an entirely different discussion

  The depths of propaganda from the self-proclaimed free and their rational positivists never ceases to amaze. It is unnecessary to guess and promulgate more myth-making as it were. Western Europe by knifepoint, gunpoint, threat of rape and dismemberment. African example King Leopold of Belgium. (www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2005/oct/06/in-the-heart-of-darkness/?pagination=false) here is a picture for you dullards who cant read much less conform to your own logic. (sites.northwestern.edu/akih/files/2013/02/MutilatedChildrenFromCongo.jpeg) The pattern repeats in Asia and Americas and in several instances by careerists who are promoted from one to continent to the other. Yet the captive minds of the U.S. and Western Europe bemoan tyranny and cry terrorism, when that is their lasting legacy in world. For those Silicon Valley slime out there, learn what happened to the Ohlone to eventually enable dimwits like this poster to populate their land with mostly white male offices and clutter the world with poorly conceived technology.
