i can assure you ethiyopian jews live in poor conditions not because on racism, atleast not mainly because of it.
every community that immigrantes to a new country passes through a ruff situation and basicly start all their life all over again in the lowest places of the society. what happand with the ethiyopian jews , is basicly a series of bad govermental decisions that caused the ethiyopian society not to get back on its feet very well.
it all started when some of them heard about whats going on in here, and that hte jews have build a country, the ethiyopian jews allways dreamed of jerusalem like some kind of heaven, so some of them decided to actually walk on foot all the way to here. imagine what a journey it was, to walk all the way, while the savages in sudan and sinai desert killing and slaving those they can get. anyway when they arrived here, they werent really welcomed in open hands. i dont know much about this part but from what i understand at first the country denied them.
aside from this, there was operation solomon and another operation a few years after too. operation solomon was the largest airlift in history. more then 14000 ethiyopian jews were transported from ethiyopia to israel in one night. and on one boieing 707 airplane borded more then 1000 people, braking world record for most people on an airplane. way more then the airplane is built for. the reason for this airlift is that at that time ethiyopia was full of civil wars, and both sides accused the jews of supporting the other, which means the jews suffered from both. the mossad made all the arrangments for this airlift, secret as it is. at first they brought them to sudan i think, the sudani leader got weapons from israel to keep his mouth shut and not to say anything about any of this. from sudan airplanes picked all of them up. but then, it leeked to the news. the sudan leader was afraid that the arab neighbors would condemn him, and brake the alliance with him and maybe even worse, so he cut off the operations. some families were torn apart by that, leaving some siblings in sudan and some got to israel.
when they arrived here at first, the goverment put them all in one place spaciel for immigrants , untill they had their own money to buy houses. the result was that they all were togather with them selves, but quite distant from the israeli society, these places were away. because of that the ethiyopian people didnt mix with the israeli society and stayed togather like a lump. also the religios leaders in israel refused to recognize the ethiyopian religios leaders as valid. and that reversed the hole thing, back at ethiyopia those people were most valued, most important, and now they became nothing because their religous authority means nothing anymore. so does the adults, berraly knowing any hebrew couldnt get along here very well. so the children, that learned hebrew quite fast, became the fathers, while the authoritstic figures of the ethiyopian society now became helpless. later when they were moved to the big cities, they still all lived in the same neighborhood and they didnt spread. again interrupting them with mixing with the rest of the society. so till this day they didnt made much advance here. most of their neighborhoods are one of the poor once, the children are uneducational and they dont advance far, and some neighborhoods have gone really bad to the point of very much crime and drug dealings. i my self lived in one neighborhood, it wasnt as bad as crime center but it wasnt heaven ether. ironicly, the majority of ethiyopian kids kept bolling me for being white... or with russian accent to be correct.
ofc there are some who are quite great and ok, those in my class are ok, some get far and become high ranked officers in the army and police, but most of them are in bad situation. and it is all becuase a series of bad decisions by the goverment interrupting them from getting back at their feet.
