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.
