Our upstairs neighbors moved out a couple of months ago and sold their apartment to a family that they said were Nigerian. When the new family moved in, I got the impression that they were Nigerian the way MHH is Polish, Barak and Iyyar are Hungarian, and much of New York is Irish. The kids looked and sounded generically African-American to me. I admit it--I didn't think any of them were actually from Africa.
Until I saw their teenage son carry a refrigerator up our outside back steps.
On his head.
