Why was the injustice and depiction of the people in the skin of one person a whole continent that contains more than 54 countries? Are the people of Africa all black?

Only if we all believe that we are created by one God, we are human being and human being are deemed to make mistakes he respective of your tribes, nationalities or continent. If we can understand all this, we need to take ourselves as one continent without segregation.

As an A frican living in China, the name '非洲,非洲人' is too demeaning, belittling and masking the attitudes of people on both sides about Africa. We need to live in a free and civilised society where people respect each others' differences in deeds and not because of political, economical or any physical status but because we are humans and all require equal respect and dignity. I therefore, hope for this name to be changed or else where there is no respect and dignity there is no cooperational values with Africa~China. Thanks

In my opinion, for such economic submit to depict it's meaning and essence. First and foremost the name 非洲 most be changed, otherwise further elucidate the origin of such demeaning name from a place like China. As much as I know, Africa was the cradle of world civilization where Egypt recorded the archeological first written document and settlement of non-normadic agrarian societies along the Nile. So how come about modern Chinese name Africa "非洲“ as a place where nothing good come from. AFRICA MUST RISE UP OTHERWISE WE HAD NEVED EXISTED.

I am uncomfortable with the name Fei Zhou which means an Ugly continent so I seek for the immediate adjustment and change of the name to Fu Zhou in the interest of our mutually benefiting relationship and peaceful co~existence. MD for BAM family
