This was why they didn't burn witches in Africa. /joke

Some tribes across Africa were known for hunting, killing, and eating women they deemed witches. I couldn't find a source, but I remember reading about it. I think the last recorded successful hunt occured in the 90's.

I did however find this a 2008 article written by the guardian, that talks about the sell and use of albinos in Tanzania. It has absolutely nothing to do with my original point, just thought it was interesting and very fucked up.

A friend of mine is albino and turned down a job offer in South Africa around that time. The thought of even being on the same continent with that going on made him profoundly uncomfortable.

Turn it down, or paint yourself daily 😅

You appear to have missed the /joke tag.

Let me explain it to you, African males on average have the largest penis sizes compared to other ethnicities. The humour therein implies witchcraft could be responsible.

This is all clearly irreverent stupidity and need not have disclaimers because even if a person were stupid enough to believe that: it was properly tagged as a joke.
