Sir, why are you so adamant about placing Western European derived labels on these lovely young women? Can we not just admire & enjoy their breathtaking & astonishing beauty (while squeezing a nut or 2 off if nessecary) without placing Euro-centric tags on them?
And if you can't see that East Africans have a distinct & unique look, you need a pair of glasses. Everybody native to the DC area knows a Habesha when they see one. Even white people are able to distinguish the difference here. Just because you're a sheltered, uncultered country bumkin living in a bubble. Doesn't mean that all people of all people of African descent are.

I don't care about labeling. Y'all are caught up with the labels. These women are beautiful no doubt. I just wanted to know the difference. I wanted to be able to tell. I wanted to learn and grow. And I got attacked for it. I think my first post in this thread was asking the difference. I admit I should have specified
physical difference.

I see women like the ones in this thread all the time. They don't wear shirts that say "I'm a East African" so when you post women that look like them, I don't think "habesha" I think Black. Yes I used to word Black. I was my bloodline was homogeneous enough to say I'm a Ethiopian or whatever but it isn't.
And that's another thing, I would never try to force Black/African people to except Euro ideals. I honestly don't know where you're getting that from. It's hard for me to describe what I'm talking about without saying "Black"
And you're probably right about me being a bumpkin. It's just that, as I already said, chicks from around my parts who look like the ones in this thread don't have Eritrean tattooed to their head. Maybe in DC women/men of these ethic groups can't go a single conversation without bringing up their ethic origins but they don't around here. And thus, I wouldn't think to ask.
If someone could have simply showed me a chart or something when I asked at first it would have been all peace, love, and daps. But as usual, coli dudes had to get combative for no reason.
