Even though the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) research in 2010 found that there are no giraffes in Ghana and that these animals are in the wild in other parts of Africa including Botswana and Cameroon, Delta Airlines do not know about this and sent out an ignorant tweet during the Ghana-USA match on Monday—-which they’ve been forced to apologize for…
Joining the many Ghanaians and Americans on twitter to talk about the match, Delta Airlines sent out the above stereotyping tweet, representing Ghana with a giraffe and the USA with its statute of liberty.
Surely, whoever sent the tweet from Delta Airlines office thinks Africa is a country (instead of a continent) with giraffes everywhere. It could have taken this person less than 2 minutes to find out from Google that Ghana is a small country in Africa and we do not have giraffes out here.
