Do people think you're a different ethnicity or race?

[Magan95]

I have been mistaken for being mixed race before even though I don't think I look it.
I've heard some of my xalimo friends say the same thing, people mistake them for being Afro-latino's.

What have your experiences been?

My Somali last name sounds sort of Germanic. I got asked once whether my father is white by a Spaniard (he probably didn't know jackshit about Somalis).

It’s good for job interviews though they think you’re a fellow aryan, unlike some people who got cursed with the famous Somali names like Abdi.

 

[AbdiS]

Never. People seem to know that I'm Somali from the first look. I even get the cringy 'iskawaraan' from absolute randoms. I am an also an Abdi as well. Too identifiable for a an.
