Some of them are. The Falasha of Ethiopia self-identify as Jews and have many Jewish traditions. There's plenty of evidence of small groups of Jews fleeing south into Africa after various disruptions. The Lemba, a group spread across southern Africa, has both oral history and genetic arguments to show that they are connected to a group of Yemenite Jews who fled south during a war in that region. The Ethiopian community is older, its folklore is less clear, but they have more Jewish traditions.

There are some who hold that Ethiopia as a whole was Christianized and that today's Ethiopian Jews originated as a Judaizing sect of Christians. The Falasha reject this theory out of hand.

What happened to the Ethiopians when the so called Jews were placed in Israel?

The non-Jewish Ethiopians (i.e. the Ethiopian Orthodox Christians and the Ogadeni Muslims) remained in Ethiopia and were not disturbed. The Ethiopian Jews brought to Israel became integrated into Israeli communities. Also, as concerns the "so-called" in the question, the Jews of Ethiopia are no less Jewish than the Jews of Morocco or the Jews of Poland. It just so happens that the Jews of Ethiopia are far fewer in number. (The same could be said of North Dakotans being "less American" than Texans or Floridians since there are fewer North Dakotans. Of course, this is equally false.)
