Give me a break. The Ethiopian Jews practice a form of Judaism that is far older than the Rabinnical Judaism practiced by the white Jews.

Tradition suggests that Ethiopian Judaism was brought to Ethiopia by the Queen of Sheba.

Rabinnical Judaism descends from Pharisaism, and developed much later.

DNA each one of them. Period.

Contrary to what everyone knows, the Queen of Sheba was from South Yemen, not modern day Ethiopia which is also not the same as ancient Ethiopia which was closer to Libya.

Sephardi, Mizrahi and Yemenite traditions are all Rabbinate. There are Karites but they to are from different regions. Ashkenazi Jews have some slightly different traditions, but the difference between Ashkenazi Orthodox Jews and other Orthodox Jews is rather limited.

I do think that the Ethiopians should demand their own Rabbinic authorities under their own customs.
