Or how they talk about Africa like it's one wee disease stricken country when it's actually an entire continent where there have been cases of Ebola in about two countries.
I get that the song's well meaning and that but it portrays this paternalistic image Africans as poor, helpless savages who're all going to die if the white man doesn't give them a helping hand.
'There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time; the greatest gift they'll get this year is life.'
Not only will there be snow in Africa (it's actually quite a big place), but there are actually people with money there too. They have their own businesses now and everything.
