Ms. Adichie's roommate assumed that Ms. Adichie didn't know how to speak English, didn't know how to use the stove and asked about her "tribal music" just because that was Ms. Adichie's roommate's idea of Africa.

My father was a professor. My
mother was an administrator. And so we had, as was the norm, live-in domestic help, who would often come from nearby rural villages. So the year I turned eight we got a new house boy. His name was Fide. The only thing my mother told us about him was that his family was very poor. My mother sent yams and rice, and our old clothes, to his family. And when I didn't finish my dinner my mother would say, "Finish your food! Don't you know? People like Fide's family have nothing." So I felt enormous pity for Fide's family.
