Its just weird because there's an actual term for the Afrocentric ideology that states ancient Egypt was actually full of black people (Hotepism) but the redditors default to a country with a colonial history that had our own much worse version of racial segregation last up until the mid 90s.
South Africa is an incredibly bad example yeah. Especially Elon Musk on top of that.
Really weird that Reddit just defaults to that.

My go-to response to that is that Elon is an African-American in the same sense that Japanese people are Pacific Islanders.
Technically true in the strictest technical sense? Yes.
Completely not what people mean when they say those words? Also yes.
