MZUNGU

<span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-weight: bold">Mzungu is preferred because Central and East Africa people do not link people of European origin to the &quot;white&quot; color</span>. This is because the concept of color coding ethinicities is not a part of their culture. Actually they consider people of European origin to be reddish or pinkish. [4][5]For instance in Kinyarwanda and Kirundi European people are also known as rutuku which means red</span>.
