How easily can you detect foreign ancestry in somalis by looking at them?

[land owner]

I’m talking around 1/4th to 1/8th foreign ancestry, I got cousins that are 1/8th Madowweyn and surprisingly they look no different than the average somali lol some of them even inherited the timo jileec

I have 1/4 yemeni blood from my mom side and I get mistaken sometimes for looking ethiopian. When I am around somalis, I look a regular somali.

Somalis are very diverse looking in my expereince, from doxol with jaarer hair nigga to lightskin arab looking. But at the same time have a distinct looking face, 4head, nose and cheekbones.

Sometimes, I know some part Arab/reer Xamar blood and it is obvious for some of them. Some look blacker than me. It depends.

Very easy for me, even though somalis look diverse we still have that unique look.

People constantly think I’m habesha and get mad when I don’t speak Amharic back to them

 

[Zaara]

Either get mistaken for a south Asian or an Egyptian

It is difficult on the individual level.

But on the population level it is not.

Sort of like how some Habesha individuals look exactly like Somalis, but when you have a group of Habeshas you immediately notice they are not like Somalis.

Hair texture, shape of the mouth, forehead, brow.

I can tell the subclans of Somalis by just looking at them or observing them for a few minutes. Each clan has specific traits.

You can't tell if a Somali is mixed past 1/4 though.

This makes me want to send you random pics of Somalis for you to guess lol
