It's literally the minstrel show of the MCU. "Look now it's the Africans' turn, let's have them run around with spears and do tribal things. Because that's what Africans would do even in a made-up super-advanced scifi city."
But it's not Africans, it's American Blacks pretending to be African, and literally enacting every available racist stereotype since they are building skyscrapers with huts attached to them, literally throwing spears, and opening magic doors by playing drums. One of the more redeeming characters has a bone through his nose, that's a good thing, because in the comic he was actually part gorilla. Apparently, they picked up on that and thought "hmm... to far."
I see it as every American who talks about living in a castle in Europe. The disconnect from what is talked about and reality is often where we put our imaginations.

It's like a White Nationalist made these films.
