There are actually, disturbingly late, British pop race science illustrations from magazines listing the Ethiopians as a subset of the white race!
The Japanese and Taiwanese were white in apartheid SA because they were economically successful investors in the country
I wonder how much this has to do with the fact that they were Christian pre-colonial
Was it understood then that humans originated in that part of the world? Could also be related
Human origins wouldn't be settled until well after WWII.
They were Christian before large chunks of Europe were!
They were the first of us, compared to them we're just Orth North
Don’t they have the Ark of the Covenant stashed somewhere?
Yes, and they also have a huge party over the discovery of the True Cross.
Going to guess "entirely"
As speakers of Semitic languages, Ethiopians were considered a few steps above everyone else south of the Sahara.
And they're Christians, and they went to Europe every so often
Ethiopia was more of a Russian bugbear tbh. The Romanovs were huge fans
