I am not saying to trigger a racial debate, but I remember back in the EAA days Ethiopian pilots getting into fights with East African Airways "African" Pilots because of this superiority complex. The Ethiopian pilots not liking other African pilots has been so since time immemorial. They always felt and said that they were not Africans (perhaps meaning "black people", yet Ethiopia is a country very much north of East Africa, thus in African Continent. There are also black Ethiopians and those that of mixed race. It is also general knowledge nationality goes with whatever continent you come from. I believe they thought they were special, but when they travel or live in European or North America, that is when the reality hit them that they are regarded as black people.
