ma***********:

Who came here because you're college professor assign you homework

Em**********:

I've watched this talk many times, and the result is always the same: I want to run to Chimamanda's arms and hug her tight. This certainly restores my decayed faith in humanity <3

Eh**********:

I'm seeing this in 2021 and it is still equally relevant as it was.

MC***:

Most civil comments ever seen on a youtube video

Oz**********:

I always come back to this talk every few months to a year, because Chimamanda has a beautiful mind

Ra**************:

nobody:
my professor teaching us about racism: "the danger of a single story"

He**********:

I really enjoyed this. I wish Chimamanda Adichie would also tell Africans about the single story we hear aboutlavish lifestyles in Europe and USA. They make African people risk their lives for example on the Mediterranean sea with the hope of going to a heavenly place only to find there are actually more hardships waiting fo them in Europe and USA than in Africa.

Lo*******************:

I'm from Vietnam and hoping that this could be my homework assignment

Na*************:

who is here from english class?

Ch*****:

Chimamanda is refreshingly insightful. Thanks for sharing your life experiences. . . .an ardent Mexican follower!

Ke****************:

"The danger of a single story is that it robs people of their dignity."

Didn’t come here because of school, just to hear this brilliant woman give very valuable insight.

Ra********:

guess who comes here these days? people who just randomly stumble upon this video? naw not anymore no siree kids who have english during covid take up da views now
btw guys if you want highlights and quotes go look at alo-san's comment she has a lot

Je*****:

I am mexican, I came to visit the USA and all of my friends were surprised that I didn't hve to work and I came to see things with my money. This made me feel so angry but I found this video which I shared with them.

Ki**********:

let me guess ur in English class

Lo******:

As a middle eastern (iranian) I had similar experiences like her (like: "How many wife your father has?!!!")
but what made me sad as a person who thought that is aware of not being racist ,was when I saw instagram page of an iranian woman who was married to a nigerian man and had many exciting experinces in travel to nigeria (and other african countries). I didn't think that africans are just poor or uneducated people at all, but I found that unconsciously didnt expect to see african societies and countries "intresting" (despite other parts of the world) and it was a shame for me.

sq************:

I remember how taken aback I was when after I shared the fact that I was born and had spent the first part of my childhood in Guyana, South America, my college classmate asked if I used to live in a hut. I, who had likely lived a more privileged life than him, with a nanny, a maid, and a house as conventional as any, could not believe the leap he made. After sputtering for a while, I collected myself long enough to offer him some lame, probably incoherent, response. I don't know how much of an impression I made on him, but that brief exchange between us sure made an impression on me. I had a wonderful childhood, not least because of the privilege my parents afforded me, but also because of the setting in which it took place, and I often wished that instead of reacting with knee-jerk irritation, that I'd offered a better explanation that would have taught him the tiniest bit about my rich culture. He might've been 1 more person with a different perspective of the world outside America
