Subject: slightly off topic..."Mzungu"... Posted on: 17 Nov 2007 19:13:53 GMT

Hi..just wanted to see what peoples thoughts are on the african word '
Mzungu'...when I lived in Kenya, it was used to describe european settlers
and had absloutley NO derogatory intention or racist connotation to it, but
whilst on safari recently, a lot ot toursits took very verbal exception
whenever the word ' Mzungu' was mentioned.

Is ' Mzungu' evolved into a derogatory referal to colonials or is it still
an innocent used description?


like to see what you guys think....
