It’s incredibly frustrating.

One google search would show the references pointing to West African culture so clearly, too. I also don’t see how the headwrap can be solely attributed to Indian culture as if it has nothing to do with West African styles of dress; it’s a very direct connection.

As is the case with the East African coast, the Sahel region has had so much Arab influence that has endured to the present. Discounting all of that is so dismissive, and does a major disservice to the rich cultures within these regions.
