Some Somalis literally mistaked me for an AA just because my hair was like this...

Ethiopian, Puerto Rican, and even an Indian.

This white girl I used work with in Customer Service even asked me if one of parents were white.

 

[ajod tac]

Well, with hijab I get mistaken for Moroccan, Afghan, Pakistani, Saudi, Egyptian or Arab in general. Without hijab I'm mistaken for either Dominican (or Latina in general) with curls and Eritrean/Habesha with straight hair.

 

[Basra]

For me, I was mistaken as both Ethiopian and Eritrean. It was in the school(college) by a fellow student who mistaken me for those nationalities

I was also mistaken for Burmese and Malaysian which is kinda weird how that happened.

Skip to second last paragraph if you don't wanna read much

An old Asian man greeted us(My brother and I) at the bus stop. I just thought that he found us to be Muslims and nothing else, so we did the same and greeted each other, then he told us "Are you from Burma?" I said No, he then stated "Malaysia?" We said No. He asked us where we were from? We just said Africa as if it's a ^country^ He was a bit knowledgeable tho and asked which country? We answered him... I don't know if I kinda resemble those type of Asians. Therefore, I kinda took a glance at google and didn't find a huge resemblance that I though of Weird situation

The area I live is where a lot of S. And E.Asian live/dwell.

I occasionally see an asian talking to me with their language. I just say, "Sorry" and they leave me..

Which ethncity or even a nationality were you mistaken for?

I only get noticed by Somali uncles, I can't dodge them and sometimes kinda feel a bit weird and try to smile, they're good tho and at least they will greet you

The Eedo's/Aunts I don't even know their behaviours, manners, leave about talking to them They just view me like I'm an Aquarium.. I've got no problem with em tho.


How about you guys? Ever been mistaken for other ethnicities or nationalities? You prolly could give details too, it'd be much appreciated Wanna see how much nationalities we can be mistaken for...

I was mistaken for Burundi people. I almost wanted to choke the xabashi idiot who was shuknaansing me! How can someone mistake a deep chocolate brown for a dark madoow burundi??? Any i have also been mistake for Pakistan baah baah

 

[Qarboosh]

Pretty difficult to be mistaken for anything else when you're in a city with tens of thousands of somalis
