I don't understand why people automatically associate washing elephants with Africans?
I certainly don't. If we get into it, most elephants in captivity are in non-African places. If they're wild, they wash themselves. In zoos, do you have to be African to wash an elephant?
Does anyone even wash an elephant? Considering they've got a pretty big nose (I know it's not a nose but it's funnier describing it as one) I doubt anyone does.
So does it say more of the person interpreting if they associate it, rather than how people intend it?
His dad could wash elephants at london zoo! Nowhere near Africa
