My experience has been opposite, they claim us.
The ones online are the total opposite. Some even get offended when Somalis claim them.

Here is some random screen shots I got from the same thread were Horn Africans + Rwandans discus about tutsi's.(its not in order ) I have seen convos like this between HOA and tutsi go like this in other platforms like twitter.

From what I have seen they dont like to be compared to us

, and barely acknowledge or not acknowledge at all their cushitic mixture. The claim seems one sided most of the time. I guess the ones online are a whole nother breed.
