That’s good. I thought the map was being racist

Maps aren't racist. Map owners are racist. Map creators are just filling demand.

(replace "maps" with "dogs" and "racist" with "at fault for dog eugenics")

The map is being racist by labelling Canada, Morocco and USA but not the super-relevant African countries. I'm baffled by that...

Like, I don't think it's intentional but how does that happen?

I didn’t really notice that. Oh shit, am I racist?

You're better off than many if you already know which countries those are without the labels
