Populations in Africa are also genetically more diverse than the rest of the world combined.

But people are ignorant of Africa in general. When they talk about an African race they're ignoring Ethiopians or khoisans or pygmies - they mean Bantu people.

I don't think there's more genetic diversity among Bantus than the rest of the world combined.

Not population geneticists. Africa in those cases == sub-Saharan African people, not just Bantu.
