I mean absolute no offense but why do our muslim brothers get offended when called "ወስላ" and Ormo "ጋላ"? I searched alot but couldn't find no meaning😐 if there's no meaning, why bother anger? Thanks in advance.

Historically, Ethiopian society has quotes and sayings demeaning the people. Example "Galla Kimal bela" etc. It's no surprise Oromos don't like to be called that, so just don't it isn't that difficult In today's world, most people wouldn't call you these terms directly to your face unless they're in their region or hiding behind tiktok comments.
