No African philosopher willingly accepts the label ethnophilosopher.

Evidence

Ethnophilosophy is a four-lettered word, an intellectual invective. I do not know of anyone in African philosophy today who voluntarily identifies themselves as an ethnophilosopher. It is a category invoked by a critic when he wants to express disapproval of the work of someone in African philosophy. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 536

Categorization

• DEFINE: Defines ethnophilosophy as a purely pejorative term used by critics, never a self-description.
• XREF: Relates to the wider discourse in African philosophy on who gets to name and canonize philosophical traditions.
• CANDY: A memorable, quotable line that encapsulates the stigma of the term in one sentence.
