Yes Kenyans do love all things foreign. I cannot speak for other African countries because I don't know their culture. A perfect example is not eating our traditional (and very delicious) mbogas instead of opting for foreign (look at the KFC hulabaloo, give me a kienyeji anytime). Go to the coast and compare how you are treated before and after a mzungu walks into a shop. Or go to the many food courts or hotels in Nrb and see how the next Indian will be treated because it is assumed they will spend more than you as an African will.
Personally, I only just started appreciating my African and Kenyan roots. Embracing my culture by what I eat, how I name and teach my children na kadhalika. Not that evrything foreign is bad, but as Africans I thinks its time we stopped shunning our culture and ourselves and have a healthy balance.
The Indians themselves despite being here for centuries are still very much entrenched in their culture and beliefs. So I think the reason the siddi have been fully "accepted" is because they never really were part of that culture


Or dropping Kenyan names for a full foreign identity like Jason Hill!

Recently learnt of the Kamba cua community. Kambas taken to Paraguay in the 19th century. How come we don't learn this in school?

School did it's part! School should teach you how to read - then you figure out the world on your own!

Because they're not related to our Kambas!

I agree with part of that but school should have mentioned that our ancestors were taken as slaves by some Paraguayan then we could figure out the rest. They did mention the resistors why not the captives?

It seems improbable but there are some sites out there making a strong case that these people are descended from Kenyan Kambas. But it also states that there are other ethnic groups who are called "Ba Kamba" and other similar names.

Its not out of the realm of possibility. East African slaves typically ended up in Middle East but some were sold to middlemen who took them to Madagascar, some to India and some as far as South America.


DNA testing of their descendants can go a long way in resolving this issue.
