I came across this post, about a comedian whose dad is Somali, I felt bad for him losing his heritage, wonder how many of them are out here.
Hi, welcome back to Mixed Messages! This week I’m speaking to comedian Tony Wright, who is of Somali and white British heritage. As a self-professed “half-Black person who looks Asian,” I was excited to continue exploring mixed identity with someone who doesn’t quite fit the mould of what people expect from him.
My reality is so different to what the public perceive me as. English is all I’ve ever known, but you can’t fit in with white culture if you've got a slightly darker pigment. They don't let you.
I want to get to know my Somali side more, but my family are scared that I’m going to throw them away. I’m not – I just want to see what my biological dad is like. It would answer a lot of questions for me.

What’s your ethnicity?
I’m half-English, half-Somali. I describe myself as 50/50, mixed-race or biracial... but I don’t know what the correct lingo is in the eyes of the majority. I grew up in the very white Margate, where using half-caste was OK growing up.Do people know you’re mixed-Black from looking at you?
No, my face isn’t a good indicator of my mix. Mixed Black and white males don’t typically look like me – I have no idea what went wrong in my genes. I feel like a lot of people don’t realise that being mixed creates something new, rather than the same thing over and over again.Growing up, were you connected to your Somali culture?
I don’t know my biological dad, which is where I get my Somali heritage. I grew up with a white family who didn’t acknowledge my difference. It was out of love, but it was odd.My reality is so different to what the public perceive me as.

how come when other Blacks mix with Cadaans they do not turn out like this. His Somali Dads Genes literally got Colonised typical Brits. Cushitic's are deffo most Ancient Humans on earth. 
we do not have no Persian or roman blood in us nor where we in any empires to have been diluted, also you cannot have that much mix and Somalis are today on average Madow skinned and average hair type is Kinky hair 3a-4b. Our features is not Eurasian nor white people their are Somalis with flat noses just like how Japanese and Chinese also have flat noses and faces yet they are white skinned and lank haired like Europeans
