So, you’re telling me that you’ve called them directly “warya ya xabash...” and watching them respond to you with a wide smile on their face?
I’d agree with you before the 8th century when much of the Horns were culturally and religously homogeneous but the name Habesha that you know now is the political Habesha.
Many abandoned the term centuries ago except some of the diaspora Gen Z instagrammers today.
Provoking an even more stronger reaction because of the term associated with Christianity and representing the Abyssinian identity of the past that they shared nothing in common with.
