Ghanaian filmmaker LeiLa Djansi has described the sequel to the 1988 classic ‘Coming to America’ as mildly offensive.
In a Facebook post, she stated that there are scenes and activities in ‘Coming 2 America’ that are not only stereotypical but discriminatory and disrespectful to the continent and its people.
Leila Djansi explained that Hollywood has shown they are unwilling to accept that the images they paint in their films as Africa are wrong and “mostly lies”.
“As an African, I found #Coming2America mildly offensive. Jungles, wild animals, child warriors and war. Come on Hollywood, these tropes show how discriminatory and disrespectful y’all are. Enough! There’s more to Africa and please don’t try hiding em within wealth,” she wrote.
