【Dracula XXX Porn Movie (1994)】

Let us start this off very clearly—Wakanda is Dracula XXX Porn Movie (1994)not a real place. Wakanda is the fictional country within Africa where the characters in Marvel's Black Pantherexist.

Unfortunately British Airways (a company that flies people to real countries, hopefully) didn't get the memo about this, and someone reading the in-flight magazine recently noticed that they totally did think Wakanda was a real place that actress Lupita Nyong'o hails from. Yikes.

On the pages in question, various celebrities who have made the magazine's global best dressed spread are listed with the place each star calls home. For executive wonder-baby Asahd Khaled, that's Los Angeles, and for musician Kelsey Lu, it's New York.

But for Nyong'o, Wakanda is listed—not Mexico, where she was born, or Kenya, where she was raised, but Wakanda.

Sure, Nyong'o will be appearing in Wakanda as Dora Milaje member Nakia in Ryan Coogler's Black Panther film, but that doesn't make the land any more real—or British Airway's error anymore acceptable, and many people expressed their shock at the error on Twitter.

Nyong'o or British Airways have yet to acknowledge the mess, but it's worth repeating once more: Wakanda is not real, Lupita Nyong'o is very real, and copy editors are very important.

Carry on!
