This is the default state for most human societies who are heavily influenced by paganism and superstition. You’ll get a similar impression from non-Westernized people in India and Southeast Asia. This is a product of their religious and cultural beliefs.
Paganism, which you see in many parts of Africa, is pure poison. Then there are larger and more successful religions which may still be bad but they’re at least less poisonous than Paganism, as evidenced by the state of their respective populations. The Abrahamic religions are by far the most successful and prosperous with Christianity being at the pinnacle.
The reason this religious and cultural and not racial is because 1) you can see the effects you described anywhere paganism is practiced, and 2) if you hop over to Malawi where they’re largely Protestant Christians, the situation is drastically different.
