Do people usually think your Somali? What do people usually guess you are?

Ok troll

You didn't answer my question

 

[Tramo]

Literally same, I spoke Somali to a Yemeni guy assuming he was Somali also and he responded in Somali before telling me he was Yemeni
I was incredibly confused
Turns out the guy grew up in Somalia

"ma Somali baa tahay?"

"maya"

I did get a couple of Eritreans trying to speak their gibberish language to me ( I had to tell them sorry I am Somali). Usually I get recognized straight away as a original Somali though by other races.

It's funny, in my childhood i was the lightest kid. So much so that i was nicknamed *My name*-Cade. It used to bother me so much that i was much lighter than my siblings. I grew darker as i aged though so that's not an issue anymore.

Yeah my lighter siblings were always called qurux just because they were lighter. My younger sister is so cadaan and she was always praised for her skin colour. Looking back to when I was a kid, I didn't really care or know how much skin colour really mattered to dadka Somalida. But I thank my lucky stars that I'm not living in Somalia right now, it must be unfortunate for dark skinned girls to be told to bleach to look better, that is just disgusting.

Never understood the obsession with skin tone, dark or light, facial features are much more important

I look very Somali so much so that people often mistaken me for someone they know.

Depends on what you mean by "Bantu features".
I have big lips type 4b hair and a wide nose but a little longer than usual. May Allah help me.
