Do you ever get mistaken for other races?

[Mumin]

Most of time ppl reconize me as somali we are slim and taller than avrage african.

How ever ppl mix us with habeshi ethio and eritrean sometimes even sudanese.

Djibouti is still somali tho since we have same lang and culture.

 

[NA9]

I have been mistaken for: Habesha, Indian, Syrian, Brazilian, Pakistani, Egyptian and many other ethnicities.
I think I have some Somali features but I will agree that to the untrained eye it may take a while to identify me as Somali.
I dont have the typical nose and skin colour. However this may be because my mother is a Somali ethnic minority. I am also quite short
I dont think being racially ambigious is good/bad, it can be fun but also annoying at times.

Isn't London majority non-White...? Why would they refer to you as the n-word if it's one of the most multiracial cities?? Or are you just kidding to make a point...?

Edit: or was it a non-black poc who said it?

He's probably lying. Ive lived in London my whole life and never heard anyone be referred to as a . That just doesnt happen here

No, most of London is cadaan, there are only pockets of ethnic minorities, such as the east being south asian, the south being madow etc. I used to live in north-west London, on the outskirts so there were not many people of colour who were around.

 

[psychoukhtive]

ppl usually think I'm either Indian or sudani

 

[Leo]

I rarely get mistaken for anything but the average Somali.

So they are lying then, when they use London as an example to show one of the consequences of "white genocide"...? The reason I asked is because I heard some say that they feel like a minority in their own city (London), how a Muslim got elected as the mayor, and how they had to move to smaller cities to escape the stifling multiculturalism.

Looking like a low key brag thread

London is mostly cadaan, but there are pockets full of ethnic minorities that you will not even notice that you're in England anymore, i'm not talking about a china town, but a full on india or pakistan.

Yet the country is still 90% or so english. which is less diverse than somalia which is roughly 85% somali

i once got into an argument with this madow kid on my way to school he was like 8 and i was 15 at the time , he called me a "fuckin Paki" ...... PAKI !!!!

 

[ethan bradberry]

How do you lot get confused for Asians? You got Sri Lankan hair or something?

 

[Sarah136]

Yes for an Arab and then forced to speak Somali to prove it and when I do speak Somali,they try to pick apart my accent. I am tiiiiiirrrrrrreeeeeeeed

 

[McLovin]

Why isnt far east asian on the list

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

I've been mistaken for Eritrean by ajnabis & i've been mistaken for Indian by fellow Somalis. My wavy timo jileec is to blame for.

 

[Luna]

Indian or Arab sometimes Ethiopian. I look like neither. In fact, I don't like any race/ethnicity in particular. I look the most like Sudani's (the Arab and Nubian ones) though.
