> lol why have you had a bad experience with it? One of my uncles is married to an ethiopian, lets just say I wasn't prepared for the super spicy sauce at one family dinner.

I found this passage very interesting from your link Injera is unique to Ethiopia, from its distinct taste and main ingredient the Teff cereal. Teff is the tiniest cereal and used as a staple food only in Ethiopia (in other parts of the world its associated with common grass). Teff is believed to have originated in Ethiopia between 4000 and 1000 BC. Teff seeds were discovered in a pyramid thought to date back to 3359 BC.

It's not just ethiopians and eritreans , somalis think their Superior too. I think it has to do with them seeing themselves as closer to white or Arab when compared to other Africans. Look how somalis treat bantus or the way Arabs treat black sudanese. I think it's a little bit more than thinking their cool.

No I'm English but I've spent a bit of time in Barbados, the people there are really cool and the women very cute, plus the best West Indian cricketers come from Barbados. I wouldn't argue against Jamaica producing the best music of the West Indies, in fact I'd say that Jamaica is the most influential country in the world when it comes to music after the UK and USA. I've noticed quite a bit of anti Jamaican sentiment in Barbados while there, I think there is a worry that the country might take on some of the more unsavoury aspects of Jamaican culture like the yardies with guns that were exported here to London in the 90's
