Yuck!
There is so much about your comment that I dislike. If that is the kind of girl that you are regularly attracting, what does that say about you?
Substitute the word “bazungu” for Ugandan girls / African girls / black girls and a million people would jump on your neck and call you a racist. You think it’s okay to say that about white girls?
And what is this nonsense about ancestors?

Am here after 10 years since the article was published.

I gave up on bazungu girls, the few I dated had an extremely poor relationship with water. How do I comfortably share a bed with a girl who doesn’t bathe and uses wipes most of the time.

I still don’t know whether it was bad luck at play or the spirits of my ancestors didn’t want a muzungu in our family.

I agree with everything you say apart from the last part. I don’t think that both parties approach this equally ‘in the know’ about each other’s motives but perhaps that’s just a reflection on what happened to me.
You’re right, some people will do whatever it takes to get what they think is a ticket to an easy life. (And by the way, let’s make it clear: choosing a new life in a different country can be extremely difficult).

Interesting article. Of course the one thing you missed which also happens to be the biggest attraction at least from the “dreadlock Rasta ” is the economic angle, not just for beer and a soft life but a literal plane ticket out of Africa. Many people have changed their lives by getting a plane ticket or establishing for themselves something in terms of a business or such.
They are prepared to do literally anything the white chic wants and it doesn’t matter the age, physical appearance or intellect. The two prey on each other. The girl finds a pliant man who literally worships the ground she walks on and he finds a lady with a deep wallet and good connections to change his lifestyle. Subliminally they both know what the other wants and it works for them.

Such a nice article
I have found out that Rastaz enjoy the bazunguzu
But the Rastaz willingness to deviate from the conservative modelled men brought up in Uganda
The corporate guys are always going back and forth about those corporate things in their lives
But for a rasta just talks just fun and music to the muzungu that makes the muzungu just fall for rasta
So corporates let the Rastaz reign

Who says “rasta is real African” and other Ugandans are not?
This article is really about fake guys – those rasta lookalikes and rasta wannabees.

I think you’re right… a well-educated person knows that there are few shortcuts in life…
