Ghana | Discrimination | Xenophobia | Africa
This is what discrimination looks like as Ghanians don’t see xenophobia unless it’s from a White Person
Again several Ghanians seem to think discrimination isn’t a thing when they refuse housing to Africans from other countries

A Nigerian man is seeking housing in Ghana where he’s married to a Ghanian woman. He posted in a housing group looking to rent a home for himself and his wife. I advised him to have his Ghanian wife post in the group, when several Ghanians commented on his post some insulting his Nigerian name.
Had these insults about his Nigerian name come from a white person, everyone would have been infuriated but Ghanians felt this was proper behavior.
Apparently many countries don’t have housing discrimination laws, there aren’t even laws in discriminating against people seeking employment. Xenophobia isn’t a topic they discuss where there is a lack of laws to protect people…
