Both are ignorant and borderline racist. (that's me quoting the majority of people who found the Giraffe/Ghana pic offensive).
Interesting how peoples perceptions have changed in such a short time.

that's because the tweet reinforces the classic narrative that African nations are part of a single, amorphous blob of uninhabited pan-African savanna (there aren't even any giraffes in Ghana)
if you can't see how that differs from this corny tweet about pasta and da vinci...
they're both based on stereotypes, but they don't carry the same weight
