Obviously. I meant what can you expect from Asians, blacks, or anything else? Not all whites look the same. That's what I meant.

So? People from the same race aren't supposed to look alike. White people sure don't.

My point is that the one even could look mixed with white, but the other only looks a typically asian.

A race is nothing but an arbitrary grouping of populations based on shared physical characteristics, and all races include a wide spectrum. hence these individuals: http://www.dukemrestaurant.com/Entertainment/Entertainers/Ethiopian_Music_Artist%5B1%5D.jpg and these: http://www.dundee.ac.uk/cepmlp/images/05022004-Nigerian Assoc.jpg are considered to be the same "race" though they have some noticeably distinct physical characteristics.

Ethiopia was, back in the B.C. era, notoriously affiliated with the Middle East, though, so they are bound to have Middle Eastern genes in their bloodlines. Trade was common between the Holy Lands and Ethiopian kings, and there's even a mention of an Ethiopian in the Bible. Do you have a better example, perhaps?

You miss the point. Regardless of how Ethiopic populations came to have the traits they do, we ignorant, arrogant white Westerners are still apt to call an Ethiope a black man. Race is nothing but common traits shared between various populations, and as these populations mix and change the flimsiness of the concept of race becomes more and more apparent.

Can anyone prove that the Ethiopian population is of Middle Eastern ancestry without the injection of conjecture? And the bible doesn't serve as proof for anything beyond faith. From what I've studied, the Ethiopian population is largely of homogenuous native Black ancestry having some traits that can be attributed to native descent. It is not the only African population with the Muslim religion yet people here seem to like to state that Muslim religion equates to Muslim ancestry. That isn't necessarily true unless you want to count the countless other African nations with said Muslim religion.

What are you trying to get at? All asian people should look the same?
