Do you ever get mistaken for other races?

[Soulei]

I feel like most Somalis do tbh (unless you live in an area with lots of Somalis). I get mostly Indian where I live . Sometimes Arab or Habeshi too. Back when I lived in reer tdot I used to mostly get Guyanese and Trini. Hbu?

How does a Somali get mistaken as an Cadaan ??

I only got Mixed Race once due to my hair, but other than that people don't really care about your race where I live..

 

[kaluumayste]

Yes i have jaraa.

I think this really depends on where you live, and not so much your phenotype. I've gotten mixed race quite a few times, even though I'm not very light. Occasionally Ethiopian/Eritrean from other Ethios/Eris, but neither anywhere near as many times as Caribbean. It's because Caribbean is the 'default' Black around here.

I get mistaken alot of the time for North African Moroccan and Habesha. They always speak their languages to me and i stand there I've also gotten arab mix and latino

Wallahi iyo billahi someone mistaking you with another ethnicity waxay noqotay wax lagu faano. Akhas iyo akhas

I've gotten Indian one time, and I was shocked someone would even think that. Mostly it's people thinking I'm Habesha.

I get mistaken with west african but I'm a native somali bantu

Stop lying they probably mistaken you for a bantu, I bet they asked if your tribe was Madowweyne ...

 

[DrippinglyWet]

Nah nothing bruh
Somali Bantu > Somalilanders

Got you fam :siilaanyosmile:

 

[Amira]

I get mistaken for Arab a lot, but I don't think I look Arab at all. The other day, some Moroccan dude thought I was Moroccan too. Some people think I look Habesha too. But it's funny cuz Somali think I look Habesha, but Habesha people can usually tell I'm Somali. I've gotten mixed race or dominican/Latino couple of times. I've gotten caribbean a few times, but only by clueless cadaans.

Y'all better not say you feel happiness or anything positive like that when mistaken for another race
