Nah i know a lot of Oromos and Amharic people and they get agitated whenever i refer to them as Ethiopians.
The 2nd half of that sentence is 150% out of 100% wrong

Yeah Oromos are different. They're either proud Ethios or they'll kill you if you call them Ethiopian lol.Nah i know a lot of Oromos and Amharic people and they get agitated whenever i refer to them as Ethiopians.
I know Habesha is an outside manifestation that's used more by the younger, Diasporan crowd, but that even there acceptance on who's considered Habesha or not differs with some ppl. Ethiopian is more inclusive, no room for debate there, but there are underlying tensions between certain groups.I agree with you to be fair.
It is mainly outside the country if anything people will refer to 'Ethiopian'. Inside the country it's a different story. The term 'Habesha' is rarely used inside the country as well.
Amhara's are the most die-hard Ethiopian's, they will happily say Ethiopian over Amhara.

I'm most familiar with Amharas. The closest Habesha person I know is half Ethiopian half Eri though. And I know there are big time tensions there too, understandably.
Are you a half-half?True.
And yeah there are many half-half's
Which label do you vibe with?Nope, but I have family that are.

Out of which ones? I'm Ethiopian if a non-Ethiopian asks, and I'm still Ethiopian if an Ethiopian ask. I turn non Ethiopian when the Ethiopian assumes I speak AmharicWhich label do you vibe with?
I see. Do you use the Habesha label towards yourself?Out of which ones? I'm Ethiopian if a non-Ethiopian asks, and I'm still Ethiopian if an Ethiopian ask. I turn non Ethiopian when the Ethiopian assumes I speak Amharic.

There's this general disdain for Amharas, but they still seem to be dominant. Idk id it's numbers, or bc everyone seems to speak the language.

How are you ok with speaking another ethnic group's language? lol
unironically, this type of shit is what destroyed our country
What's wrong with speaking another ethnic group's language? I speak my own so whatever else I speak doesn't bother me one tiny bit. It's turned into the language of communication in Ethiopia now too anyways. Unless you thought I only speak Amharic....
I don't like this vibe that just because another language is more dominant and official, you forget your own language. That may have been the case before but not anymore.![]()
loool speak for yourself my grasp of Somali has been slowly dying for years now, I might need to recharge back at Somalia soon.
Well your case is different assuming you were born in the West? I mean back home it's very different.
Oh right, well you gotta learn thenI wasn't born in the West, I just moved here when I was really young
