[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by anguishofbeing: [qb] Falasha is [i]foreign[/i] and offensive and should never be used but Gnawa is... "foreign". lol [/qb][/QUOTE]We heard you the first time. If you would know the story of Africa (and the rest of the world). You would know that many African ethnic group names are actually names given to them by foreigners (often other African ethnic groups). Even Berber can be viewed as pejorative. A name given to them by Romans, I think, meaning Barbarians. Some ethnic group names start as pejorative but lose their pejorative connotation with time. It's a bit surprising but many African ethnic groups didn't actually have names to define themselves. They defined themselves (not tribally but as human beings) with names meaning something like "humans", "people", in their language. [/QB][/QUOTE]
