Just piggybacking off the topic posted earlier.
When you use terms like "kinky haired" , "soft haired", "pink eared" etc , what you are doing is allowing non-Somali ethnics to claim the Soomaali name and identity. What you are essentially saying is that Somalis have different physical characteristics!
This is false, ethnic Somalis have a very specific phenotype, one that is not shared by non-Cushites who live in our land, whether they are Bantu or Arab.
It's also not islamically correct to call someone by a name that may bother them. Call them "Mushunguli" or Bantu or whatever Bantu clan names they carry. Same goes for the Arabs, call them Syrians, Yemenis or Swahili whatever.
The best, most civilised and most intelligent thing to do is to call people by what they really are.
Let's be kind and respectful, that doesn't mean we must be dumb and allow randoms to claim our ancient ethnic identity.
