I would wager that there are more Irish-Americans living in the District than there are people of Ethiopian descent.

There are more people of Ethiopian descent in the DC area than any other metropolitan area in the world except Addis.  Some estimates put the number as high as 250,000.

Comparing Amharic, a living language spoken as the first language by many people, with Celtic is absurd.  [/quote]
