There have been recent debates about the Kikuyu and their sources of wealth. Many believe Kikuyus are generally entrepreneurial in nature which makes them good in business and money matters. There’s even a popular stereotype that suggests Kikuyus love money and that they’ll even steal or murder to get it. Even though I am not sure whether popular beliefs about Kikuyus being murderous are true, I am inclined to believe some of these stereotypes are real. Recent research suggests most stereotypes are fairly accurate even though mainstream psychologists and sociologists deny them. Are stereotypes of the entrepreneurial Kikuyu true or could their sources of wealth be explained by other phenomena?
