Think Africa, think type, think gross over-generalisation.

This is a huge visual stereotype. Basically generalizing an entire continent by assigning it an "ethnic" typeface. What about egypt? or the sahara? Are those areas "ethic". I think taking a look at Schraivogel's cinemafrica posters. They represent the theme while at the same time stay a safe distance away from any outright stereotypes.
