#1 Privately, Ugandan communities do have quite strong stereotypes of each other. When a group from one ethnic community is sure that no one among them is an "outsider," their conversation can be shocking.

Despite all this, it is still not kosher to speak of tribalism or call someone a tribalist. The acceptable word is "sectarianism," and Uganda is one of the few countries I know of that some years ago passed a law banning tribalism.

Hey, ya stupid gits! It's "tribalism", got it? Gold plate the turd all you want.
