No ethiopian are not black they are Caucasian. Black refers to n3griod people in west and central africa, ethiopians are tanned cacasions, Ethiopians have little to no n3griod blood in them, Ethiopians are a people who are mixed with arabs and Mediterianin people, their skin is a little dark depending on the ethnic group, like the habesha people are light skinned with narrow noses and big wavey curld hair. Ethiopians are usally classified as black due to their skin color but they are not.

quote from professor and an expert on african anthropology
“Notably, 62% of the Ethiopians fall in the first cluster, which encompasses the majority of the Arabs, Jews, Norwegians and Armenians, indicating that placement of these individuals in a ‘Black’ cluster would be an inaccurate reflection of the genetic structure. Only 24% of the Ethiopians are placed in the cluster with the Bantu and most of the Afro-Caribbeans.”
skinn color doesnt justify a race, its misconception.
