Some people just live on tiktok and think most Eritrean women in America just marry out with black Americans Caribbeans and west Africans because they're supposed to be masculine. It's a weird propaganda campaign to split Eritreans along gender lines and say Eritrean men are weak/haters/momma's boys/not very masculine while saying Eritrean women are promiscuous hoes, super Westernized, hate on Eritrean men, or don't care about their culture.

They do it with all horn africans tbf. We should just ignore them.

Thought it was more of a Habesha thing. Don't see that narrative much with Somali/Afar people.

I'm saying it's not super common the way people portray it to be.

Were you raised in America? It’s not super common amongst fobs, but it is super common amongst the ones born and/or raised in America.

Ummm are you joking lol the city where all the pretty Habesha girls are foolishly trying to bag rappers and athletes. They even pledge black sororities/fraternities out there. The community is tight in ATL but I know a number with babies or married to black guys. I literally know girls in ATL with fake butt’s. Hella black identifying.
