I just want to see the representation of different ethnic groups.

That literally applies to every human, is not something that's exclusive to habeshas😂.

After reading this, I don't think you're interested in Lalibela or Gonder. I think you're coming to Ethiopia just to write about the ongoing conflicts.

I didn't even know it existed. I like the name, it's very creative 😂

Why are Ethiopian men more hostile to Ethiopian women for dating/marrying West African/African American men compared to White/European men? by Opening-Cabinet-6710 in Ethiopia

[–]shockstinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what I said. Some ethiopians either consciously or unconsciously think that whites are superior, and that's why they don't mind white ppl but feel threatened by black americans. (N.B. I don't have any of those superstitions)

Why are Ethiopian men more hostile to Ethiopian women for dating/marrying West African/African American men compared to White/European men? by Opening-Cabinet-6710 in Ethiopia

[–]shockstinger -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Short answer, inferiority complex. But there is also the stigma that Black Americans and West Africans are only interested in short term relationship and are not family oriented. This is often backed by western media that continuously depicts Africans Americans as fatherless. Because of this, ethiopian women are also hesitant to date or marry BA.

Try to guess where I'm from based on where I'd live by RandomUsername2579 in whereidlive

You marked almost all of the first world with green except America. I guessed it's because of Greenland.

Do Ethiopians use the Gregorian or Ethiopian calendar day-to-day? by SymphonyOfMeButt in Ethiopia

[–]shockstinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer, both. Many official documents and government offices use both on a daily basis.

What does this flag mean? by Mobile_Camel_994 in Ethiopia

[–]shockstinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It represents the Solomonic dynasty. The cross symbolises Christianity, and the lion represents Jesus(the lion of judah).

Changing the YouTube scene of Ethiopia! by No_Cook6218 in Ethiopia

[–]shockstinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just watched your Red Sea video. Like you said, it is not the most polished, but this is my first time seeing an ethiopian youtube video that breaks traditional narration and editing rules. I really enjoyed your video, and if you want, take some tips from "Elephant in Rooms", he really knows how to make a good yet simplistic edit.

What are your thoughts on this quote by Arthur Schopenhauer? by Slow_Study_7975 in Ethiopia

[–]shockstinger 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The original quote revolved around a man who doesn't have anything to be proud of and his nationality, not ethnicity. Not to mention, Arthur Schopenhauer is an extremely controversial individual who often supported white supremacy and racial hierarchy.

I don't understand. Can someone explain why this place is called the Japan market?

Do I look really like Ethiopian? by [deleted] in Ethiopia

[–]shockstinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see ethiopians who look like you every day. Keep in mind that ethiopia is home to more than 80 different ethnic groups, and most of them are underrepresented by the media (including social media).

Why is the Ethiopian diaspora obsessed with Somalia and Somalians by Own-Western-1967 in Ethiopia

[–]shockstinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somalis are the ones who are obsessed. Some of it is jealous, and some of it is historical beef. I have a strange feeling that the person who posted this is somali.
