Somalis are too self centered and obsessed with their looks. Literally everywhere there's Somalis talking about how we are different to Africans whenever someone mentions us and bantus in the same sentence. Grown men talking about their slim nose and straight hair it makes me sick

bickering like naago
Iβm only seeing non Somalis obsess with our looks tbh, why would me n my Somali friends/family discuss what we already know lmao
Apparently our looks are new news these days to non Somalis, they are obsessed I swear and drag us into the convo because they sometimes gets facts incorrect and when an ACTUAL Somali corrects them suddenly we are βobsessed with our looksβ loool
Iβve had literal strangers ask me if Iβm Somali and them start giving me facts they clearly got from the depths of Wikipedia hell and I just wanted to go buy some groceries in peace.
I donβt like the narrative that if Somalis donβt identify as a colour (black) or say they are different from Bantus they think they are better than them. Different doesnβt mean better than, I think people who try to point that out are the ones that think Bantus are lower than other people.
