Abyssinia (Habeshenia) (Habesha)
Origin Arabic: Meaning: Niǵǵer.


The Arabs gave the name "Abyssinia" to present-day Ethiopia, a highly offensive racial slur in Arabic to demean, humiliate and degrade the people with burnt faces.

What's a bit more shocking is how the burnt-faced people chose to wear the derogatory slur "Habesha" as a badge of honor.

To each his own. :|
