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.

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.
