I did a bit more reading. Turns out the term Ubangi is a misnomer; someone simply picked it off a map because it sounded "savage." They are actually Sara Kaba, and it is only the women that do it. The practice was ended in the mid-20th century. Now it's just Americans who practice it as a way of warning their compatriots that they are unsuitable in positions requiring good judgement.
