Depiction of African American
Europeans were the first group who felt that the African people were not human. Europeans went to South Africa and ran into Khoi Khoi tribe. The thought the women were strange because of their larger buttocks (which uncommon for European or Scottish women) and their protruding lips. They took her and displayed her like an animal. They thought their anatomy would be different so they dissect her and took out her organs. Her brain and genitals were taken. They finally understand that her body was not different than a white woman. Her body is depicted as a trophy so why are Black women still exploiting theirselves (without any assistant like Sarah Hataman: Hottentot) and when is going to change?
