Mr. C,The naked Kenyan boy. Not good. Change the image.
Wow! Uptight much, Manquat?FTR, I actually altered the pic to remove the genitalia, aware of Korean sensibilities. And after using this PPT for three years, no one in school or here has ever commented (and its been downloaded thousands of times by NETs here and at the page that must be not be named). Until now.I find it bizarre that in your 17 months as a waygook.org user, this is the ONLY post you've ever made, a month ago. Kirikou is a reasonably famous character whose little boy parts have been "on display" in comic strips, cartoons video games and figurines for 20+ years.BTW, I have uploaded a dozen or so of my other online teaching videos at my YT "channel" in case you or anyone want to see how I've been trying to adapt old things and come up with new things: https://www.youtube.com/user/TuttleCapt/videosI'm also interested to know from some of the previous commenters if my voice is less of a soporific in more recent vides.You can't comment there, but you certainly can here.
At the risk of being presumptuous, the point I think Mr. C might be trying to make is that the picture you used could reinforce any negative stereotypes (and there are many) younger Koreans might have about Africans. South Africans are genuinely shocked at the student's reactions to PPTs with pictures of Johannesburg and Cape town "looking very first world" so to speak, so your pic might be playing a role in setting things back a little, for lack of a better way of putting it. There are quite a few animated pictures on the web, of African children playing in different situations that look further away from the "poverty porn" images that some younger Koreans might be used to seeing when it comes to depictions of younger Africans. I'd recommend perhaps searching for and using one of those for future PPTs, it would go a long way.
