Wonderfully racist! How is it relevant in any way that the dev is ethiopian? I couldn't care less. I care about the product or service.

If you don't care, why is it the only thing about this news that you're engaging with in your comment?

Ethiopia is a nation. The word you're looking for is Nationalistic.

Ethiopia isn’t a race though? Are you saying you believe the title was trying to signal that the founder is black, not their country of origin? I’m not sure you can draw that conclusion.

Yeah, this cool "I don't care" attitude works only until one is on winning side of economy. Once its not then it is always bias against them on basis color, age, nationality, race and so on.
