Why tf would a Prince from a hidden African nation speak in an American/British accent?

This is the important part of this piece: 

They were unsure is audiences would sit through anything other than a British or American accent. An African inspired accent would be asking too much for people to sit through. Damn. Fictional African countries have to be normed on whiteness.  

You really can tell when people don’t know their target audience well or even care to conduct simple researches

Even though this is a small example but tons of people on here have confessed that they definitely would want to see more than English/American accents in the media.

I mean even after BP was released, nobody has had an issue with any of the characters having African accents. Like 🙄
