Anti semetic?

Question

Techincally, If I say I hate Arabs and certian Ethiopians and Eritreans as well as Jewish people, am I being anti semetic?

Fine semitic. I don't hate them. I was just asking.

Answer 1

You are but in part.

Well the word Semetic covers the Arab and Jewish peoples; mind you the Jews have different races now as they spread around the world over the last 2000 years. The Ethiopians are not considered Semites but belong to another group known as Cushites.

Ethiopian Race and Ethnicity
The "Ethiopians" are easier to explain. The large, dominant ethnic groups of Ethiopian highlands (including Eritrea) are speakers of a group of Semitic languages, brought to the area from the Arabian peninsula, likely by the Sabean peoples. This group is referred to in various ancient texts, including the Old Testament and the Quran. The name is a form of the name Sheba.

The identity of ancient Sheba is uncertain, and is associated with the term Cush also. The languages of the region were mixed from ancient times with Semitic and Cushitic. (For instance, the ancient Chaldeans, in the mouth of the Tigris and Euphrates River in the Persian Gulf, who later took over the Babylonian Empire from the Assyrians, were Cushitic.)

Arabic and Hebrew are closely related languages in the same family as the languages of Amharic and Tigrinya. ***
