Getting mistaken as Ethiopian

[Saintz]

This last week, I’ve been mistaken for Ethiopian thrice in my workplacence by an Indian guy and once by an Afro-Brazilian guy. Just 10 minutes ago, some Adeers greeted me with salaam, and I responded in Somali. He was shocked; he didn’t think I was Somali. So embarrassing—I'm not even short.

You should take a DNA test

I also get mistaken for Habesha. People don't think I'm Somali "you don't look it" they think by telling me this I will feel good about myself.

You hate people thinking your somali? I would be suprised if someone can guess my ethnicity correctly considering no one has yet

They get suprised is annoying. They often think I'm Eritrean. A lot of these ajanabis assume lightskin Somalis dont exist. It's ridiculous.

Is weird considering we live in London where Somalis are everywhere in great numbers. We have diverse looks. Although I admit my skintone is not that common amongst Somalis.

What sort of shade we talking ? i dont look white , just tan appearance. Somalis are concentrated in a few cities , according to census we are a lot smaller than it seems. Interestingly 62% live in London alone . Im pretty sure census isnt v.accurate tho
