Sir,
You certainly did not take time to watch the video itself. The journalist's convoluted and embarrassed addendum to the initial stark question was an afterthought forced out by the audience reaction and Chimamanda's shocked stare and silence. There is nothing misleading about my expressed sense of disbelief at a journalist in 2018 asking if Nigeria has book stores and then shamefacedly trying to revise her racist question by padding it with justifications that justify nothing. Seriously.
