Are Ethiopians and Eriteans actually "black"?

[KostasKouvalis]

YES

NO

Ethiopia is no less diverse than Lebanon in terms of variety. However, most of them speak Semitic languages, making them related to Arabs.

I think only about half of their genetics resembles a profile similar to Sub-Saharan Africans.

Considering their early adoption of Christianity and the fact that they were never colonized, when I think of Black Africans, Ethiopians do not come to my mind; they are a sui generis community.

Also, all the donkeys in the world originate from Ethiopia

Also, when people think of Black people, mostly due to US stereotypes, what comes to mind is the West African profile with wide noses, thick lips, and round faces. However, East Africans are quite different in terms of both body build and facial features.

Furthermore, Africa is the place with the highest human genetic diversity and genetic distance. Non-Negroid people are the descendants of a small group that left Africa, while the number of people who stayed in Africa at that time was much larger

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah. North and south of the country are different

Yeah, even other blacks didn't consider them blacks and named them "Ethiopians", the BURNED SKINNED PEOPLE

Less black. Its why there's more ancient civilisation in eithiopia compared to blacker African countries

[KostasKouvalis]

That's what I was thinking too

Tallest buildings in sub sahara before Europeans arrived for 10,000 years was termite mounds.

My best friend in college is from Ethiopia. I never see her as black…. I just know her and her family is from Ethiopia. Very simple…. I also have work colleagues who are Egyptian.
I never use color to describe a group of people.

[FreyaRed]

Majority of them is semitic. They came back to Africa from central Asia. They are genetically closer to Arabs than to Bantu or Niger-Congo Africans.

[KostasKouvalis]

Central Asia? Damn.
I think so too.

[queenofcardio]

​Yes, racially they are classified as Black.

[KostasKouvalis]

Did you read the text? It says they're Semetic people

[queenofcardio]

Semitic is not a race.

[KostasKouvalis]

Oh...

[7Phoenix7]

Yes, broadly speaking…. Ethiopians and Eritreans are Black Africans.

[Kvass]

They are
