Ethnicized Gatekeeping: How Afaan Oromo and Oromo-Sounding Names Structure Advantage

There was a statistical data I saw somewhere that suggested Oromo still occupy less positions than its numerical size proportion in many government bureaucracies of the federal level, at least in comparison to the Amharic speaking (Amhara) population.

If that has changed or it was based on falsehood, then I am ready to correct my impression.

I didn't want to read to the end, to spare my time!

Your contempt for scholarship , previously for natural sciences and now for social sciences, states that unless scholraship serves Oromo ethno-centric racism, they must be held with disrespect and discard them as falsehoods.
This is, to say the least, an outrageous fascism. Even Hitler wouldn't discard results of good research.

The material I used for this synthesis is enormous, particularly covering the eight years since Abiy took power. It is based on observations accumulated over this period.
People have shared story after story with me.
It is disturbing how just a few sentences in Oromogna can open doors to services and spare some individuals the unnecessary difficulties others face when trying to complete errands in town that require official approval.

Even last week, several acquaintances from the Middle East, with names such as Fatima Abamecha, Birkisa Aba Jebel, Chaltu Aba Geru, and Zebiba Aba Jifar—along with surnames like Aba Gero or Aba Gidi—described how their names effectively functioned as “green cards” at the airport and in many offices in the city and regional towns where official signatures are required. They told me themselves how their names suddenly and unfairly facilitated their cases. These are thoughtful and decent people, and they are fully aware of the long-term consequences that such practices may have.
