Well he's just describing his experiences. And I believe they are mostly truthful and that they generalize to some extent, in other words, the stark difference from other countries he's visited is not a statistical anomaly. He has hitchhiked across Africa (from south to north), the Americas and Asia so he has a lot of countries to compare.

Are you saying that people are equally friendly, hospitable, kind and ethical across the world?

Yes.

That is very naive and incorrect.

Well - in a thread posted by someone from the DRC about saving animals from harm, you appear to have made a blanket assessment about a country that was literally torn apart by European colonisation, solely on the basis of a single book written by some (presumably) European white man who met a vanishingly small fraction of the population of the world’s 16th largest country and decided based on that tiny sample that the entire country “lacks humanity”.

I hope you can perhaps see the problem here.
