Right. I don't see any problem at all here, because Southrons/Haradrim is a very broad term, including both Near and Far Harad. Ethiopia is sub-saharan Africa, so I can't see it being a fitting analogue for Near Harad. And no, you did not raise this with us, if you're talking about the post on the Facebook page. That was about using made-up Westron-based names instead of names from a real-world language, which was not at all 'brushed off'. I gave a very long explanation of my thoughts on it.
