I understand there are worse places in Afrika, but for me that makes Kenya a proper shithole.
It's easy to cherry pick facts to make a country look terrible.
I don't have to cherry pick facts to make Kenya look bad, I just picked a bunch of pretty bad ones about Kenya to illustrate my point.
I also find it telling that, instead of cherry picking positive things about Kenya to disprove my point, posters in this thread resorted Whataboutisms with respect to the US.
I really don't like being in this thread, arguing viewpoints that I myself consider borderline bigotry, but the notion that Kenya is somehow on par with the US or even any other developed nation is preposterous.
But as a retort, in America, gay and trans people get denied rights and are killed everyday because they are "an abomination to god". Women are denied medican support by old white men who know what's best for them. Black people get killed by the police with no recourse. There is human trafficking that goes unaddressed because our economy is basically built on it. There is a horribly stratified economy, and a horrible opioid (and in my opinion, alchohol) epidemic...
But keep living in your shell man.
Women do get medical support, maybe not enough, it's not true that all women are denied medical support.
Yes, America is not a utopia, but it's not as bad as you paint it.
That may all well be true, but it doesn't change the fact that Kenya - as it is now - is not a country I would build a datacenter in. I don't have to go to Kenya myself to know if it is a backwards country or not. The facts are the facts.
