I wasn't thinking of the racist angle part of it until you mentioned it so, you're all racists I guess

A lot of U.S. Americans on a map such as Iraq don't have maps to help them learn

LA Chieffan made it sound like mapmakers make Africa purposely too small....like there's a conspiracy or something

duh - we already know things are out of proportion on map projections. How the F do you think they get something spherical on a piece of paper?

I could not decipher this.

Anyway, you were wondering what the point of comparing Africa (a continent) to countries was. The point is that most people think that Africa is a very small continent.

This is precisely why I've long advocated for spherical paper. You can write on it. You can read it. You can toss it around with friends when you're bored. And you can draw an accurate map on it. Spherical paper is clearly superior to flat paper in every way.
