Afigent

Afigent (noun): A respectful term used to describe individuals who are not of African descent. It is constructed from the prefix "Afi-", derived from Africa, and the suffix "-gent", mirroring the structure of similar words like "gentile". The word is intended for use in contexts where a neutral, non-derogatory identifier is needed to denote cultural or ethnic distinctions without any connotations of exclusion or otherness.

In the cultural exchange program, both African and Afigent participants shared their heritage, offering a rich tapestry of human experiences and histories.
