where are all the ethiopians?

Question

peopel allways say things about ethiopans, what is your veiws in term to your race? where do you put your self?

Answer 1

This person is not Ethiopian. Some obsessed West African who keeps talking about Fulani people.

Answer 2

I presume they are mostly in Ethiopia.

I don't understand the question. In terms of my race? Well, most Ethiopians are quite a bit darker than I am, but what should that have to do with anything?

Answer 3

this dude above me is nuts...lol!he doesnt even know his facts but he says they are BLACK AFRICANS.Okay then bucko why dont they have babies with africans or other black people.?CAUSE UR NOT THERE PEOPLE.
They are African by location but they are not *******(thats a race accoring the US cenus).
Go to any source be it wikipedia, or a library and read what they say specifically on the Habesha of Eritrea and Ethiopia and you will see why people say they are not 'black'.
from Sabaens - ancient semetic arabs and Aksumites - ancient semitic people from the kingdom of Aksum.
People are arguing not so much on their skin colour but their facial features, skulls and hair styles. Last time I checked the majority if not all africans from west, south and central have coarse/kinky hair.
The Eritreans and Ethiopian have big, loose curly hair or the women have silky hair.
They are blatantly not white - lol ,but they are not *******.
Why would alot of white people I've met and on yahoo answers think they are not black in how they look.
Simply because they don't.


I could show you pictures that would soon make you understand there is a difference. This argument that blacks come in different shades, sizes and looks maybe somewhat true but it does not apply to certain horn of africans if you are trying to classify them as *******.

Edit: I'm not going to explain what ******* is because you could look that up yourself. There may be controversy of how to define race but people can be given these classifications, generally on how they look. You can just see it.
The African Americans are generally mixed with people from WEST AFRICAN orgin be it recently or far back. West Africans are defined as being ******* due to facial features, skull type, hair type which differentiates from a caucasian.
Anyway, the argument is not about mixed people, it's about indegenious africans. I even said you will have mixed raced people who are lighter and will not look like the stereotypical African. In the United States you may classify mixed as black/******* or whatever but in anthropoligical terms I don't know how they are defined. It depends on what they are mixed with.
Why would a white person care enough to label Eritreans and Ethiopians as other? What's so special about them? They were just honest in how they look to them.
The majority of Eritreans and Ethiopians look much closer to a person from say Yemen than they do to a Nigerian or Botswanan.

Answer 4

If you were Ethiopian I don't think you would ask this question..maybe you are one of the Americanized ones?

Anyway, don't worry about things like this...

Jayden...Ethiopian people are considered Semitic people, but they do have ******* blood...this is why their skin is darker than white and their hair is curly

By the way, my hair is completely straight, unless I take the time (which I do) to straw set it.

You know nothing about the genes of African blooded people.

Answer 5

Ethiopians are not a "race" they are various tribal people who live in a country called Ethiopia. They used to be called Abyssinians.

Answer 6
