Well, that's simplifying things a bit. Africa has more genetic and almost as much linguistic diversity as the rest of the world combined. Sure if you're making it all about white people that's doing it wrong (never mind Roman Carthage and Egypt). But Africa absolutely is multicultural and multiethnic in ways that matter, whether you're talking about today or 500 years ago.

Japan was unified in the 16th century and was isolationist for a few hundred centuries. Before then there was significant cultural contact with China and Korea including importing at least four different waves of Buddhism, not all of which were peaceful adoptions.

Any significant multicultural work (such as Okorafor's Lagoon) is going to take into account how those issues are different from place to place rather than inserting "Puerto Ricans" everywhere.
