The majority of Ethiopian distance runners come from Oromia.

In fact, even the emperor Haile Selassie was multi-ethnic and had
Kumera ZekariasGUEST
Oromo ancestry.
Kumera ZekariasGUEST
And yet...
Kumera ZekariasGUEST
Haile Selassie isn't remembered well by many Oromos.
Kumera ZekariasGUEST
The analogy I always use is that the Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo had Haitian ancestry, but was also deeply anti-Haitian.
