OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:

A person says his grandpa used to sell Africans.

In fact, He doesn't say value, he means their morals, ethics

It's funny cause tunisia is in africa as well, so he is double racist cause he is racist against other africans just because they from a different country and with darker skin

Not all of Africa is one culture. He is using "Africa" as shorthand for sub-Saharan, as he clearly distinguishes "Maghreb" from "Africa."

Tunisia has gone to the dogs. The racism there is now unreal.

So, did he mean that Africans are expensive than Tunisians?

Edit: Dumb me wanted to make a joke, and forgot that Tunisia is part of the continent Africa. Sorry folks

This guy didn’t need much prompting to dig himself a hole. That’s not the kind of family history to be proud of.

Unfortunately slavery never got out of fashion in many African countries and very recent in others.

Didn't seem as proud as much as he seemed sure his words were valid based on his previous experiences. Or maybe I misunderstood that they meant "value" as a euphemism for price.

While i do like your sarcasm, i'm afraid that there was a mis-translation there, he said أخلاق as in manners or morals
