Are Somalis African American?

[greyhound stone]

Somalis (especially northern Somalis) are closer in appearance to Hispanics than they are to blacks.

What's with the threads these days? Why does the OP in every thread sound like he had a bottle smashed on his head as a kid?

 

[Shimbiris]

African American -> Somalia -> Somalia in Africa -> African American? -> Somalia is in Horn of Africa -> Horn African American? -> Hamerican?

 

[Based]

No you're Somali American. Idk why this is even a question why would you want to associate with a group like African Americans?

 

[qalanjoqoordheer]

African-Americans use that term because they can't pinpoint their ethnic ancestry and so use it as a unifying umbrella term to bond over as other groups do over ethnicity.
If you can pinpoint your ethnicity you have no right to claim what little unifies these miskeens.
