3 annoying ‘colonial reportage’ by UK media as Prince Charles tours Africa

Mail Online

The Daily Mail wrote a story with the headline: “Charles shows Theresa how it’s done! Prince of Wales looks effortlessly cool as he dances with Ghanaian tribesmen during three-nation Africa tour”. Well, it actually turns out the dancers they were referring to as “tribesmen” were not but rather members of the National Dance Company (Ghana Dance Ensemble).

Why would any intelligent reporter working for a reputable paper describe the National Dance Company (Ghana Dance Ensemble) as “Tribesmen” in 2018? Unless, the report is daft and the paper ‘dafter’. | Daily Mail Online please up your game! https://t.co/c1duOzH85x
