For your knowledege I come across, the racism remarks made by woman while living in addis online. I know 100% her remarks doesnt represent any of the expat living here, Everyone has the rite to like or not like someone, but going far to creating a blog to call names, is so inhuman. Arent we equal infront of GOD?
"This is Ethiopia, an undeveloped country, where people are dirt poor and quite used to doing things we developed people would classify as ‘filthy’, ‘sick’, ‘gross’, ‘nasty’, and ‘backwards’…I ate Ethiopian food and didn’t die .... The people are stinking up my house… seriously, I sprayed 20 seconds of Lysol everywhere, but that just created a winning combo like Lysol and BO  . African body odor is like mustard gas(WTF)  . It is lethal and deadly. It will sear your contact lenses to your eyeballs. I do not wish room full of it on my worst enemy. By the way, the whole country smells bad"
Really, may be my Ethiopian pride, yet reading it I do laugh at it. Anyhow, I thought about not posting it, but still make people understand of the word "racism" in actual terms.

There are stinky and filithy people in USA, Canada, Europe and all over the world.  You want one proof, google "Horders" and you will find "youtube" for your delight, where it is happens, America.  I live in Western country and I see filithy and stinky people in shoping mall, in a bus and oh, yea I have been in a few house where I almost threw up.

Your ofending comment on poor people in underdeveloped country shows how your brain is too small and how your are illitrate.  If the people you are throwing nasty words at have money and means to keep clean and smell nice they would. They are the people who are struggling to have a meal to live, no or limited access to water and soap.  You must be an evil spirited trashy women who should not be in Addis or any other poor country. Who asked you to go there, take your evil mouth and get out of there. I wish you to be so poor and homeless so that you life is stinky and filithy as those you have insulted.

I see. We will unfortunately find extremists in every country.

Maybe you reply to that person on that other website ?
