That’s exactly how we lost the kikoi to the Brits.

Good morning ?

But she grew up in Kenya? She’s practically Kenyan…

I encountered some South Africans in a YouTube video comments section that genuinely believed “Hakuna Matata” from the Lion King was their country’s phrase.

I have no problem with it.
If you have an issue with cultural appropriation.Stop eating fries, burgers, (Actually, anything with potatoes ,Maize, cabbages, kale,Tomatoes or the likes because those are all foods from other parts of the world brought here by colonialists.) Also Samosas are not even Swahili foods per se. They are originally Indian but spread to the Middle East after the Conquest of Northern India by the jihadists. So… Nothing to get triggered about

Whats the issue with it SJW? I bet she speaks Kiswahili better than you and lives in Kenya unlike you.

Hii upus ya cultural appropriation ni fall back ya watu wavivu… So she’s white, but has taken the time to learn how to cook the foods and cook them well…where’s the problem? Has she claimed to have invented the cuisine?
Je, niulize, if (for example) a Luo chef has a YT channel na apike mukimo, mtalia appropriation?

Swahili is global. And samosa is Indian origin. So is chapati, curry stew etc. People need to relax.

And kiondos to the japs

Atleast we still got corruption…I mean,no one wants to steal that,right?:smiley:

Damn straight:D:D:D if they take that then there’s no reason for living as a kenyan.it’s our pride and joy:D:D

And we lost our Kiûndû to the Japanese. They even patented it.
