But responsibility for the slave trade is not simple. On the one hand, it was indeed the Europeans who purchased large numbers of Africans, and sent them far away to work in their colonies. On the other hand, Africans bear some responsibility themselves: some African societies had long had their own slaves, and they cooperated with the Europeans to sell other Africans into slavery. The Europeans relied on African merchants, soldiers and rulers to get slaves for them, which they then bought, at convenient seaports.
Africans were not strangers to the slave trade, or to the keeping of slaves. There had been considerable trading of Africans as slaves by Islamic Arab merchants in North Africa since the year 900. When Leo Africanus travelled to West Africa in the 1500s, he recorded in his The Description of Africa and of the Notable Things Therein Contained that, "slaves are the next highest commodity in the marketplace. There is a place where they sell countless slaves on market days." Criminals and prisoners of war, as well as political prisoners were often sold in the marketplaces in Gao, Jenne and Timbuktu.
Perhaps because slavery and slave trading had long existed in much of Africa (though perhaps in forms less brutal than the slavery practised in the Americas), Africans were untroubled by selling slaves to Europeans.

Answer:
Among the complaints about the Enlishmen that the author´s grandmother is:
- The habit of not taking a bath twice a day.
- That they ate in front of each other.
Explanation:
Ethnocentrism is when people disagree with the culture of other countries, so they have prejudices against people who come from that country. Usually, ethnocentrism is a faithful defense of one's own culture without taking into account what others think; for these people, there are only their values.
For example, we can see that the author's grandmother does not agree that Englishman do not bathe twice a day, and just thinking that they can not bathe is inconceivable to her. All this is because she has other values, customs, and criteria different from the Englishmen but can not accept that it is good to have differences, and this is a clear example of ethnocentrism.
