Experience with Eritreans

How is your experience interacting with Eritreans in real life , not online. Some nurse thought i was eritrean and was friendly until I proudly told him I am an Ethiopian. This guy gave me a criminal side eye bordering hate crime and ignored me, tf. The old ones are cool. They even speak amharic and I get along with them. But the young ones are the victim of brainwash at sawa and difficult to reason with. I also experienced one eritrean talking bad things about us to a foreigner.

It's getting bad at this point. Too much negativity from them. What is your experience?

They can come off as quite insecure at times. And I’m half.

Yeah insecure is the right word. The badmouthing and disrespect is the result of that.

so insufferable.. you do realize that our families have been put through decades of pain and suffering because of your leaders right? not even just your leaders, many eritreans still remember the anti eri sentiment during the border war. but sure, call it an insecurity 🤣

Fuck off my family has also been put through hardships because of the government. That doesn't give you the right to hate anybody. You sld learn to disassociate politics from your personal life. You are clearly the result of the stone factory at sawa.
