I'd have to say I like elephants better than Africans. Besides, there would be no problem with elephants eating your garden if the Africans hadn't overpopulated, stripped the environment bare for fuel, and eliminated the elephant's natural habitat. Elephants are the endangered species, not Africans.

Western medicine, Western hygiene, and Western do-gooder mentality has helped to allow Africans to procreate way beyond what their environment (or their native economy) can support; only AIDS and the occasional inter-tribal genocide can cull their numbers a bit. That's the bitter truth.

Besides, no one is trying to import millions of elephants into the USA to live off our welfare system and commit crimes, and I've yet to hear an elephant whine about "racism" and sue me for job discrimination. Yep; I definitely prefer elephants to Africans.

"Yep; I definitely prefer elephants to Africans."

Having spent many years in Africa, I have to agree.
In most parts of Africa they have stripped the habitat of game animals to the point that they have very little protein in their diets.
That's the reason you see so many pictures of little pot-bellied African children - they survive on a high carbohydrate diet of yams.

In most villages along the rivers there are a few avacado trees that belong to the village, and the fruit is harvested communally.
These trees are huge, and they provide the only dependable source of protein.

Ahhh, the smell of racism.

There's nothing else quite like it.
