Not actually an example. Rich Idiot With No Day Job refers to characters who use the trope name as a cover identity, rather than those who merely fit the name.

* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: Henderson. No day job? Check. Rich? Check. An idiot? Well, he did blow up the Arnewi people's cistern which is something you can't do without putting in an awful lot of effort into. So again, check.

a bomb is not considered intellegent

* AIIsACrapshoot: Henderson when he arrives at the Arnewi village thinks that because he knows more about technology than the Arnewi people, only he can fix their problem with the frogs contaminating their water. He constructs a bomb using gunpowder from his .375 H and H Magnum, a flashlight case and two batteries. The result is disastrous ending in many cattle dying and the cistern destroyed.
Added DiffLines:
* {{Bulungi}}: While no country is named in the novel, the natives Henderson meets largely speak in pidgin and live in poverty. The tribe names are made up and do not correspond to any specific African tribe.
Added DiffLines:
* DarkestAfrica: On full display, with the natives described as "savages" regularly, and descriptions of them performing ritual dances, lion hunts, and tossing human skulls around for sport.
Added DiffLines:
* MightyWhitey: A disaffected middle-class American goes to Africa and quickly impresses the local tribe enough for him to have a leadership position bestowed upon him. Bellow plays this trope brazenly straight here.

Arriving at Africa, he is greeted by a poverty and famine-stricken village that celebrates his physical victory over a semi-friendly battle with their king Itelo but after he accidentally destroys their water cistern, he leaves out of guilt ([[TheExile he was going to get kicked out anyways]]). He is then greeted by a slightly more resources-rich village that rejoices over his supposed extraordinary strength and choose to make him the “Rain King”, which he realizes he does not want to become.
