More white supremacist bullshit. Why is it that Africa appears smaller on the map than it truly is? Why does Africa seem smaller than Russia when the Russia can fit inside of all of Africa?

It's because most maps use the Mercator Projection. On it, Greenland looks to be the same size as Africa. In reality, Africa is actually 14 times larger. Replicating the globe onto a flat surface distorts the sizes of the countries yet many have no idea.
