    Love the two women so versed and independent in their knowledge. My take on this conversation is, don't follow other's convictions. Take your own stand based on your understanding of life, and dont feel too bad when people criticize your stand. People grow and change. Same person who criticized your stand will change to take on your stand tomorrow. Also, will interest me to know how Adichie's approach to critics will evolve in many years to come. Will she lean towards Beard's approach?

    Why am I not surprised that you're adding to what she said to make it sound worse than what she said. At no point did she talk about better looks. She specifically mentioned things like grey hair, which isn't about looking better; it's about looking older. But you decided to display your own biases with your paraphrase. She should have done a better job of not putting all older women in the same category because there are many who don't age as much. Still, you obviously have issues.

    For a Nigerian, that's not their problem at all. Because most people Nigerians interact with are other Nigerians. For white and orientals who are the minority in this country, it's understandable how this can be their reality. But, based on chimamanda's experience as a Nigerian, it makes sense that she can say this.

    Who are the blacks? Do you live in Nigeria? Chimamanda is speaking for her experience, obviously white Nigerians and Asian Nigerian can tell their experience about living in Nigeria as a minority. Their experience is different from Chimamanda her experience as a Yoruba Nigerian woman is differsnt, she didn’t realize her race because the majority of the people in Nigeria are Nigerian.
