Our enslaved African minds have over-glorified American culture. This minute, there is a poor Kenyan somewhere, almost choking on his tongue because he is struggling to sound American. Not only are we echoing accents, we are also parroting music, imitating food and mirroring lifestyle.
But hey, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with cultural influence - after all, the world is ‘glocalizing’. There is nothing wrong, except of course, when foreign norms are ‘copy-pasted’, and aped without consideration of cultural contexts and nuances.
