Does this happen to you with ajnabis (you don’t know)?

[hamar_oo_iidil]

So many times I am going about my business and an ajnabi comes up to me. At work, at school, etc. and they ask me if I am Somali. It’s so weird because this isn’t ethnic Somalis saying this. It’s old white people, it’s accustomed Asians. And in a way I feel so blessed to be so distinguished as an ethnic Somali that I don’t even have to tell some of the most far flung ajnabis to us my race.

old white man today saw me and asked if I was from Somalia. He said I looked like the ancient Egyptians. A few weeks ago an Asian woman stopped me at school and said you’re Somali right? Prior to that a black brother at work first time he ever saw me told me how us Somalis good skin is probably due to our consuming of papayas. I love papayas but even that felt like he knew too much.

What happens when the world wants to commit genocide against us and we are so identifiable to the rest of them?

I don’t like their curiosity. Just leave me alone. Don’t ask me about my race unless your a Somali (oo miyir qaabo)

I do t have this problem people find it hard to believe I'm somali when they ask and tell instead Ethiopians also come and speak to me in jibberish

 

[hamar_oo_iidil]

I fluctuate between being light skinned and dark skinned abaayo. Aren’t most Somalis like that?

Yeah, I notice it doesn’t happen to a lot of Somalis. Just a certain proportion of us just look so Somali that it’s so obvious.

Just to build off of that last part. Genetic warfare is a real thing. Imagine when Habeshas and Bantus begin to use genetic warfare against Somalis. 99% of us including diasporas will die when a Somali virus spreads.

Exactly. And to be honest bro I don’t see how we’re undesirable. Ajnabi women love our features just as much as ajnabi men love xalimos for their features. We’re like a mesh between Caucasian white males and black Bantu west Africans but with the sort of spice that means we’re proficient in Arabic and eat spicy Indian food while watching Japanese animes or English football. I love being a third culture kid

I'm one of them and I love it! I always feel like such a standout

I would say I look like a typical Farah if it were not for my high cheekbones and tiny eyes
