Email to the Associated Press! Good Greetings, I am emailing you in regards to the last article youve published on the 25th of May 2014 titled: Bomb attack in Tiny Djibouti condemned. I am outraged by the lack of professionalism exhibited by your journalists who constantly insult African nations that are relatively geographically small by calling them Tiny. There is no country in the world called Tiny Djibouti, Tiny Togo, Tiny Gambia or Tiny Lesotho etc.. You do not need to add that derogatory adjective to increase the credibility of your articles and you need to understand that it is very much offending to the citizens of these nations. I have always wondered why you never use Tiny Israel, Tiny Belgium, Tiny Switzerland or Tiny Luxembourg when you talk about these nations which are mostly smaller than the African nations you deem fit your definition of Tiny. You need to understand that the physical size of a country does not determine its political, economic or cultural weight and impact on the world. And I would like you to instruct all your journalists that there is no such thing as a tiny country otherwise the United States would be called Tiny USA by the Russians. Respect Yourselves!
